10 years of transition in Ukraine agriculture: An analysis of productivity and efficiency of enterprises
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Lissitsa,
Alexej; Odening,
Martin; Babycheva,
Tamara.
This paper analyzes efficiency and total factor productivity (TFP) change of large agricultural enterprises during their transition to
a market economy in Ukraine. In this case the efficiency is calculated by data envelopment analysis and the productivity change is
measured by the Malmquist Productivity Change Index in the period between 1990 and 1999. On average, TFP declined by 6%
annually, dropping a total 42%. The main reason for the observed TFP decline is a decrease in technical efficiency, which is found
to be remarkably significant. At the same time there is a high variation among individual enterprises: their distribution of
efficiency scores widens, which indicates that the farms diverge with respect to their economic performance. The Tobit...

100 Years of Dairy Farming: Town of Dryden, Tompkins County, New York
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Stanton,
Bernard F.; Conneman,
George J.; Hoskins,
Susan B.; Smith,
Stuart F.
A history and analysis of farm management surveys for the previous year, conducted on every dairy farm in the Town of Dryden
each decade save one, from 1908 through 2008 is presented. Five times as much milk was sold in 2007 from dairy farms based in
Dryden as was sold in 1917. Labor productivity in terms of milk sold per worker has increased 35 times in the century reflecting
the great gains made from advances in agricultural technology. Dairy farm numbers have decreased from 206 in 1907 to 8 in
2007. Dryden’s dairy farms continue as an important contributor to the economy of the Town.

13 + 1: A Comparison of Global Climate Change Policy Architectures
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Aldy,
Joseph E.; Barrett,
Scott; Stavins,
Robert N.
We critically review the Kyoto Protocol and thirteen alternative policy architectures for addressing the threat of global climate
change. We employ six criteria to evaluate the policy proposals: environmental outcome, dynamic efficiency, cost effectiveness,
equity, flexibility in the presence of new information, and incentives for participation and compliance. The Kyoto Protocol does
not fare well on a number of criteria, but none of the alternative proposals fare well along all six dimensions. We identify several
major themes among the alternative proposals: Kyoto is "too little, too fast"; developing countries should play a more substantial
role and receive incentives to participate; implementation should focus on market-based approaches, especially...

1978 OATS SURVEY REPORT
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Welsch,
Delane E.; Stuthman,
Deon; Showman,
Alan.
A mail survey was conducted in 1977 of farmers who were thought to be oats producers, using names obtained from several lists.
The purpose of the 1977 mail survey was to obtain answers to the following questions: (1) What kind of farmer grows oats, (2)
Where does he grow them, (3)Why does he grow them, (4) How does he produce them? Answers to these questions should enable
the breeding program and the Extension Program at the University of Minnesota to better address the problems of oat production
and thus maintain, or hopefully improve the relative competitive ability of oats as a crop in Minnesota.

The purpose of this research report is to present an evaluation of advisory service pricing performance in 1995 for corn and
soybeans. Specifically, the average price received by a subscriber to an advisory service is calculated for corn and soybean crops
harvested in 1995. The average net advisory price across all 25 corn programs is $3.04 per bushel. The range of net advisory
prices for corn is quite large, with a minimum of $2.34 per bushel and a maximum of $3.81 per bushel. The average net advisory
price across all 25 soybean programs is $6.61 per bushel. As with corn, the range of net advisory prices for soybeans is
substantial, with a minimum of $5.75 per bushel and a maximum of $7.92 per bushel.

In the Southeastern Association the average accrual net farm income in 1996 was $67,579 for the 61 farms included in this report.
The decrease is due to lower inventory levels since the increase in gross cash income was higher than the increase in total cash
farm expenses. Even though this is a decrease of 8% from the 1995 average, the 1996 net farm income is still one of the highest
on record. Only in 1978, 1990, 1991, 1994 and 1995 was average nominal profit also greater than $50,000. When adjusted by
the Consumer Price Index (to provide a constant dollar or buying power comparison), the average 1996 profit is exceeded only in
1990 and 1995. The 20% of these 61 farms with the highest net farm income had an average net farm income of $196,161 in

For the Southwestern Association, average accrual net farm income was $62,699 in 1996 for the 203 farms included in this report.
This is an increase of 9% from 1995 making 1996 another high income year in a job with large swings in income. This volatility
can be seen whether income is measured in nominal terms or constant dollars. The 20% of these 203 farms with the highest net
farm income had an average profit of $157,052--an increase from 1995. The low 20% of the farms had an average loss of
-$6,010 in 1996, which was a smaller loss than in 1995. Average gross cash farm income in 1995 was $382,502--a 10% increase

In the Southeastern Association the average net farm income in 1997 was $73,311 for the 64 farms included in this report. This
was an increase of 8.5% from 1996. The increase is due to replenishment of inventories which had been depleted in 1996. Total
cash farm expenses increased 7%. The 1997 net farm income is the highest on record. When adjusted by the Consumer Price
Index (to provide a constant dollar or buying power comparison), the average 1997 profit is exceeded only in 1990 and 1995.

For the Southwestern Association, average net farm income was $40,598 in 1997 for the 208 farms included in this report. This
is a decrease of 35% from 1996 continuing the pattern of large swings in income. Since costs changed very little, almost all of
the decrease can be attributed to a decrease in gross income, specifically to decreases in the sales of corn and finished beef. (Net
farm income is calculated by subtracting total cash farm expense and depreciation from gross cash farm income and adjusting for
changes in inventory items.) After subtracting an opportunity cost for equity capital, labor and management earnings follow a
similar but lower pattern.

Farm types were assigned using the 1992 Census of Agriculture's Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) definitions. Basically,
any farm with 50 percent or more of value of farm sales from one item becomes a farm of that type. Swine farms have 50 percent
or more of value of combined sales from fat hogs, feeder pigs and cull breeding hogs. This report is a summary of the financial
and production records kept by swine farmers enrolled in the Telfarm/MicroTel record program through Michigan State

Net farm income for all representative farms will be lower in 2003 than in 1995-96, but net farm income will be level throughout
the 1997-2005 period. Cropland prices are projected to fall in all regions of North Dakota after peaking in 1996-97. Cash rental
rates are projected to follow cropland prices. Debt-to-asset ratios for most farms, although rising across the forecast period, will
not reach levels that imperil credit worthiness. Debt-to-asset ratios for the low profit and small size farms are higher than those
for large and high profit farms.

The average net farm income is $65,739 for the 60 farms included in the 1998 annual report of the Southeastern Minnesota Farm
Business Management Association. This is a decrease of 12% from 1997. Even though gross cash farm income increased, cash
expenses also increased and inventory values changed little (instead of increasing as in 1997). Thus, 1998 net farm income is
lower. However, income is still at a high level compared to the early 1990s and the 1980s. (Net farm income is an accrual
measure calculated by subtracting cash farm expenses and depreciation from total cash farm income and adjusting the difference

Average net farm income was $8,616 in 1998 for the 210 farms included in this annual report of the Southwestern Minnesota
Farm Business Management Association. This is a decrease of 79% from 1997. During the last 20 years, net farm income has
been lower than the 1998 level only in 1981 and 1985. Since costs changed very little, almost all of the decrease can be
attributed to decreases in hog sales, especially, to decreases in corn and soybean sales and substantial decreases in the value of
inventories. (Net farm income is an accrual measure calculated by subtracting total cash farm expense and depreciation from
gross cash farm income and adjusting for changes in inventory items.)
Actual profit levels experienced by individual farms vary
greatly from...

A common observation during the autumn of 1998 was that the growing season had been more favorable south of I-96 than it was
to the north. This highway bisects Michigan from roughly Detroit to Muskegon. The following tables are presented for this
southern portion of Michigan indicating what farmers in the Telfarm accounting system achieved in terms of crop yields and
financial returns during 1998. It is hoped later reports will show what cash grain farms in the area north of I-96 achieved.

Net farm income for all representative farms except small size and low profit farms in 2007 will be higher than in 1998. Net farm
income for small and low profit farms will remain the same and decrease, respectively, for the forecasting period. Cropland
prices are projected to fall in all regions of North Dakota after having peaked in 1997. Cash rental rates are projected to follow
cropland prices. Debt-to-asset ratios for most farms fall across the forecast period. Debt-to-asset ratios for the low profit and small
size farms are higher than those for large and high profit farms.

This report evaluates the U.S. and world wheat markets for the 1997-2007 period by using the World Wheat Policy Simulation
Model. This analysis is based on a series of assumptions about general economic conditions, agricultural policies, the weather,
and technological change. Both the U.S. and world wheat economies are predicted to be optimistic for the next ten years. World
demands for both common and durum wheat are expected to grow faster than world production of the two wheat classes, resulting
in gradual increases in prices of the wheats. World trade volumes of both classes of wheat are expected to expand, but trade
volume of durum wheat may grow faster than common wheat.

The purpose of this research report is to present an evaluation of advisory service pricing performance in 1998 for corn and
soybeans. Specifically, the average price received by a subscriber to an advisory service is calculated for corn and soybean crops
harvested in 1998. The average net advisory price across all 23 corn programs is $2.17 per bushel - seven cents below the market
benchmark price. The net advisory prices for corn range from a minimum of $1.93 per bushel to a maximum of $2.51 per bushel.
The average net advisory price across all 22 soybean programs is $5.82 per bushel - four cents less than the market benchmark.
The net advisory prices for soybeans range from a minimum of $5.11 per bushel to a maximum of $6.58 per bushel.

The average net farm income is $66,412 for the 62 farms included in the 1999 annual report of the Southeastern Minnesota Farm
Business Management Association. This is an increase of 1% from 1998. Even though gross cash farm income increased, cash
expenses and depreciation also increased and inventory values changed little. Income is still at a high level compared to the early
1990s and the 1980s. (Net farm income is an accrual measure calculated by subtracting cash farm expenses and depreciation
from total cash farm income and adjusting the difference for changes in other capital and inventory items.) After subtracting an
opportunity cost for equity capital, unpaid labor and management earnings follow a similar but lower pattern.

Average net farm income was $43,762 in 1999 for the 216 farms included in this annual report of the Southwestern Minnesota
Farm Business Management Association. This is a large increase from the extremely low levels of 1998 and continues the
historical pattern of large swings in farm income . Almost all of the increase can be attributed to the increases in the value of
inventories and an average government payment of $44,674 in 1999. (Net farm income is an accrual measure calculated by
subtracting total cash farm expense and depreciation from gross cash farm income and adjusting for changes in inventory items.)

The average net farm income is $77,672 for the 58 farms included in the 2000 annual report of the Southeastern Minnesota Farm
Business Management Association. This is an increase of 17% from 1999. The median or middle income was $39,675,
considerably lower than the average. Even though gross cash farm income decreased more than the decrease in cash expenses,
net farm income increased because depreciation decreased and inventory values increased. Income is still at a high level
compared to the early 1990s and the 1980s.
As in previous years, the income levels experienced by individual farms vary
greatly from the overall average. When the net farm incomes for the 58 farms in the report were ranked from lowest to highest,
the resulting graph shows...

Average net farm income was $81,750 in 2000 for the 212 farms included in this annual report of the Southwestern Minnesota
Farm Business Management Association. The median or middle income was $69,414. This is the second annual increase from
the extremely low levels of 1998. Almost all of the increase can be attributed to the increase in the value of inventories,
government payment, and the decrease in depreciation charge.
However, the change in depreciation was almost entirely due
to a change in the accounting procedures, not a change in purchasing behavior by farmers. Using the "new" depreciation rules,
net farm income (NFI) in the previous 5 years was estimated to be higher than when the "old" rules were used. For example, the
"new" NFI was...

Net farm income for most representative farms in 2009 will be lower than in 1999. Low profit farms, which consist of 25% of
the farms in the study, may have negative net farm income throughout the forecasting period, and may not have financial
resiliency to survive. This is true under both optimistic and pessimistic scenarios. All farms, except low profit farms, may
perform well under the optimistic scenario, while only high profit and large size farms may be able to survive under the
pessimistic scenario. Cropland prices and cash rental rates are projected to increase slightly except in the Red River Valley where
they are projected to fall.

This report evaluates the U.S. and world sugar markets for 1999-2009 by using the Global Sugar Policy Simulation Model. This
analysis is based on assumptions about general economic conditions, agricultural policies, population growth, weather conditions,

current over supply is reduced. World demand for sugar is expected to grow faster than world supply, resulting in gradually
increasing Caribbean sugar prices from 6.55 cents/lb in 1999 to 12.3 cents/lb in 2009. The U.S. wholesale price of sugar is

One word summarizes the current outlook for the U.S. economy. That word is confusion. First, we review the recent behavior
of the U.S. economy.
Ten years of economic expansion without a recession had led some to believe that we could have
continual expansion without a recession. The year 2000 was the fourth year in a row with growth exceeding 4 percent and this
was accomplished with relatively stable prices.
unemployment was about 4 percent or below what many perceived as a
sustainable rate of unemployment without rapid inflation. Stock market prices had increased and some consumers were spending
their "new wealth."
However, the stock market showed signs of weakness beginning in 1999. That weakness grew, especially

The average net farm income was $60,978 for the 59 farms included in the 2001 annual report of the Southeastern Minnesota
Farm Business Management Association. This was a decrease of 21% from 2000 (Figure 1).
Even though gross cash farm
income increased more than cash expenses, the decrease in net farm income is due in large part to a large decrease in the inventory
value of crops and feed.
As in previous years, the income levels experienced by individual farms vary greatly from the overall

The global economy is also faltering. Global economic growth in 2001 was the slowest of any year since 1993, and only a

Net farm income for all representative farms in 2012 will be lower than in 2003. Low profit farms, which comprise of 25% of
the farms in the study, may not have financial resiliency to survive. Costs are projected to increase faster than yields. The new
farm bill removes much of the price risk that producers face while placing it on the federal government. Cropland prices and
cash rental rates are projected to increase slightly in all regions. Debt-to-asset ratios for most farms will increase slightly
throughout the forecast period. Debt-to-asset ratios for the low-profit and small-size farms are higher than those for large and
high-profit farms.

This report evaluates the U.S. and world sugar markets for 2002-2012 using the Global Sugar Policy Simulation Model. This
analysis is based on assumptions about general economic conditions, agricultural policies, population growth, weather conditions,
and technological changes.
Both the U.S. and world sugar economies are predicted to improve over the next 10 years after the
current over-supply is reduced. World demand for sugar is expected to grow faster than world supply, resulting in Caribbean sugar
prices gradually increasing from 7.88 cents/lb in 2002 to 12.15 cents/lb in 2012. The U.S. wholesale price of sugar is projected to
increase from 21.76 cents/lb in 2002 to 25.28 cents/lb in 2012, if the United States maintains its sugar programs. World...

Richard D.
Net farm income for all representative farms in 2014 is projected to be lower than in 2004. Low-profit farms, which comprise
25% of the farms in the study, may not have financial resiliency to survive without off-farm income. Costs are projected to
increase faster than yields, which will pressure net farm income downward. Cropland prices and cash rental rates are projected to
increase slightly in all regions.
Debt-to-asset ratios for most farms will decrease slightly throughout the forecast period.
Debt-to-asset ratios for the low-profit and small-size farms are higher than those for large and high-profit farms.

Autores: Koo,

Richard D.
This report evaluates the U.S. and world sugar markets for 2004-2013 using the Global Sugar Policy Simulation Model. This
analysis is based on assumptions about general economic conditions, agricultural policies, population growth, weather conditions,
and technological changes. Both the U.S. and world sugar economies are predicted to improve slightly over the next nine years
after the current over-supply is reduced. World demand for sugar is expected to grow faster than world supply, resulting in
Caribbean sugar prices gradually increasing from 8.40 cents/lb in 2004 to 8.70 cents/lb in 2013. The U.S. wholesale price of
sugar is projected to decrease from 26.15 cents/lb in 2004 to 24.89 cents/lb in 2013, if the United States maintains its sugar

Indices can be powerful tools for international monitoring and advocacy, and if used in international rankings, can help foster a
sense of healthy competition among countries. With this in mind, IFPRI's Global Hunger Index (GHI) was designed to help
mobilize political will and promote good policies by ranking countries and illustrating trends. It captures three dimensions of
hunger: insufficient availability of food, shortfalls in the nutritional status of children, and child mortality, which is to a large
extent attributable to undernutrition. Accordingly, the index includes the following three equally weighted indicators: the
proportion of people who are food energy deficient as estimated by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United

Land is a natural resource that is valued for many reasons. Farmers utilize land to earn their livelihood and as a store of wealth for
future retirement. Potential rural residents have increasingly sought open space for a home site and pursuit of a lifestyle.
Developers seek financial opportunities to invest in and develop it for non-farm uses. Recreational needs are often met through
use of land. For some, land is viewed as an investment and a hedge against inflation. This myriad of demands for land combined
with its fixed supply continually alters its market price, which is a monetary measure of its perceived value.

Andrew L.
Net farm income for nearly all representative farms in 2017 is projected to be lower than in 2007. Low profit farms, which
comprise 20% of the farms in the study, may not have financial resiliency to survive without off-farm income. Commodity prices
are expected to fall from current levels, however, the final level is unknown. Two price level scenarios were analyzed.
Commodity yields are projected to increase at historical trend-line rates and production expenses are expected to return to normal
growth rates after 2009. Debt-to-asset ratios for all farms will decrease slightly throughout the forecast period. Debt-to-asset ratios
for the low profit farms are expected to remain near the 0.50 level.

This report evaluates the U.S. and world wheat markets for the 2007-2017 period using the Global Wheat Policy Simulation

Both the U.S. and world wheat economies are predicted to remain strong for the next ten
years. World demand for both common and durum wheat are expected to remain strong. The price levels in 2007, due to high
corn demand in the ethanol industry, should be maintained since increases in production are limited due to land constraints in
most countries. World trade volumes of both classes of wheat are expected to expand, but trade volume of durum wheat may
grow faster than that...

Precision technologies are now well-integrated into the agricultural industry – both at the farm level and at the crop input dealer
level. No longer are crop input dealers only using the technologies to bring new services to their customers, they are also
utilizing the technology in their own businesses to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their operations. In early 2008,
Crop Life magazine and Purdue University’s Center for Food and Agricultural Business conducted a survey for the 13th
consecutive year to assess the adoption of precision agriculture practices in the U.S. from the perspective of the retail crop input
dealer. The questionnaire was mailed to 2500 retail crop input dealerships across the U.S. A total of 298 questionnaires were...

Average net farm income was $69,787 in 2009 for the 95 farms included in this annual report of the Southwestern Minnesota
Farm Business Management Association. Average earnings decreased by 63% from $190,901 in 2008.
This continues the
downward trend that began in 2008 after six years of steady increases. As expected, low incomes for virtually all types of
livestock operations pulled the average down, and some livestock farms sustained large losses. Crop farms, on average, were
profitable but also earned much lower incomes compared to recent years. Median net farm income, or the income earned by the
middle farm, was $96,130, substantially higher than the average. This indicates that the average was pulled down or skewed by
large losses sustained by...

2009 Michigan Land Values and Leasing Rates
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Wittenberg,
Eric; Harsh,
Stephen B.
Land is a natural resource that is valued for many reasons. Farmers utilize land to earn their livelihood and as a store of wealth for
future retirement. Potential rural residents have increasingly sought open space for a home site and pursuit of a lifestyle.
Developers seek financial opportunities to invest in and develop it for non-farm uses. Recreational needs such as hunting are often
met through use of land. For some, land is viewed as an investment and a hedge against inflation. This myriad of demands for land
combined with its fixed supply continually alters its market price, which is a monetary measure of its perceived value.

Average net farm income was $322,165 in 2010 for the 97 farms included in this annual report of the Southwestern Minnesota
Farm Business Management Association. Average earnings increased by 362% from $69,787 in 2009 (Figure 1). Inflations
adjusted profits rebounded after a downturn in 2009 that was caused primarily by low profits in the livestock sectors. Strong
yields, substantially higher crop inventory values, and rebounding profitability of the livestock sectors led the way to much higher
profits
in
2010.

This report summarizes the 2010 financial and production records of 99 Michigan cash grain farms. To be included, the farms
must have produced at least 50 percent of gross cash farm income from one or a combination of these items: corn, soybeans,
wheat, navy beans, oats, sugar beets and other small grains. The records came from Michigan State University’s TelFarm project
and Farm Credit Service of Michigan. The values were pooled into averages for reporting purposes. Farm records were included if
a farm financial analysis had completed 2010 data including beginning and ending balance sheets and a statement of income and
expenses. The data was checked to verify that cash discrepancy was less than 10% of gross cash inflow and that debt discrepancy
was less...

This report summarizes the financial and production records of 90 dairy farms from throughout Michigan in 2010. To be included,
the farms must have produced at least 50 percent of gross cash farm income from milk and dairy animal sales. The records came
from Michigan State University’s TelFarm project and the Farm Credit Service system in Michigan. The values were pooled into
averages for reporting purposes. The average herd included here is larger than would be the average dairy herd in Michigan.
Average values are reported in the summary tables and discussion that follows but one should be aware that considerable variation
across herds exists in virtually every measure.

Autores: Wittenberg,
Eric; Harsh,

Land is a natural resource that is valued for many reasons. Farmers utilize land to earn their livelihood and as a store of wealth for
future retirement. Potential rural residents have increasingly sought open space for a home site and pursuit of a lifestyle.
Developers seek financial opportunities to invest in and develop it for non-farm uses. Recreational needs such as hunting are often
met through use of land. For some, land is viewed as an investment and a hedge against inflation. This myriad of demands for land
combined with its fixed supply continually alters its market price, which is a monetary measure of its perceived value.

Won W.; Swenson,
Andrew L.
Net farm income for most representative farms in 2019 is projected to be lower than in 2009. Low-profit farms, which comprise
20% of the farms in the study, may not have financial resiliency to survive without off-farm income. Commodity prices are
expected to increase slowly from current levels. Commodity yields are projected to increase at historical trend-line rates and
production expenses are expected to return to normal growth rates. Debt-to-asset ratios for all farms except for the low profit farm
will decrease slightly throughout the forecast period. Debt-to-asset ratios for the low-profit farms are expected to increase to
about 0.70.

This report evaluates the United States and world corn and soybean markets for the 2009-2019 time period using the Global Corn

agricultural policies, weather conditions, and technological change. The major influence in the corn market will be U.S. corn
based ethanol production. If the production of corn based ethanol remains strong, corn prices will likely remain strong. However,
if the U.S. Federal government subsidies or mandates change, the world corn market could be negatively impacted. Under the
current assumptions in the model, corn price is expected to remain in a range between $3.70 and $4.10 per bushel. The level of

of the 2007-08 increase in world oil prices. That increase in oil price caused an increase in the conversion of sugar into ethanol in
Brazil, while other exporting countries increased their production of sugar in response to higher sugar prices. Sugar prices
remained strong in 2009 as the world’s economies recover slowly from the recession. World demand for sugar is expected to...

On the occasion of IFPRI's 25th anniversary, the author has selected a few subjects where the Institute has made an important and
recognized contribution to food policy research, either by itself or, more frequently, with others. In each case the topic has broad
application and the research includes innovative conclusions or methodology. This has necessarily meant looking more to the past
than the present, although in many cases the work is continuing and promises a good deal more, in addition to what has already
been achieved. He addresses IFPRI's accomplishments and the influence it has had on the development community’s views on
policy issues and the nature of development in general. These areas are discussed: Global Food Trends, Food Subsidies, Markets...

2C or Not 2C?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Guivarch,
Celine; Hallegatte,
Stephane.
Political attention has increasingly focused on limiting warming to 2°C. However, to date the only mitigation commitments
accompanying this target are the so-called Copenhagen pledges, and these pledges appear to be inconsistent with the 2°C
objective. Diverging opinions on whether this inconsistency can or should be resolved have been expressed. This paper clarifies
the alternative assumptions underlying these diverging view points and explicits their implications. It first gives simple
visualizations of the challenge posed by the 2°C target. It then proposes a “decision tree”, linking different beliefs on climate
change, the achievability of different policies, and current international policy dynamics to various options to move forward on
climate change.

The last few years have seen a proliferation of attempts by various institutions to create a framework that would enable analysts to

Small Scale Economic Activities Survey and the National Sample Survey of Agriculture complemented by other data sets such as
the Government Budget Estimates, National Accounts and External Trade Statistics. This framework consisted of 9 sectors using
1987 as the base year. However, this framework was lacking in detail such that it was extremely limited in its usefulness as a basis

This paper documents the features of a 1998 social accounting matrix (SAM) for Thailand. It begins with a description of the
overall economy both via a macro SAM and a national accounts balance sheet. The macro SAM was the result of aggregating a
micro SAM; a mapping of the final micro SAM to the macro SAM is presented. The micro SAM was a modified version of a
SAM obtained from the Thai Development Research Institute (TDRI). The paper describes the modification process in detail. The
original dataset obtained from TDRI was a 'balanced' matrix. The converted SAM, after the modification, was still balanced. It
was therefore unnecessary to apply any balancing procedure. The final 1998 micro SAM for Thailand has 61 sectors, 3 household
types, and 3 factors...

and reduced barriers to trade will help Latin America to achieve this vision, provided the region makes full use of its resources
and promotes social objectives. A strong food and agricultural system is essential to reach these goals.

A ABERTURA COMERCIAL E O SETOR LÁCTEO BRASILEIRO: ALGUMAS REFLEXÕES

Autores: Cruz,

Joao Paulo Carvalho.
Durante quase 45 anos, o governo interveio no setor lácteo através do tabelamento de preços. Esse processo foi danoso a toda a
cadeia agroindustrial do leite, uma vez que os agentes não tinham estímulos a investir em melhorias na produção e qualidade. A
exclusão se acentuou após a abertura comercial no início da década de 90, quando os preços passaram a ser determinados pela
oferta e demanda. O leite, que já apresentava tendência de queda nos preços, passou a enfrentar forte concorrência com o produto
estrangeiro mais competitivo e altamente subsidiado no país de origem, complicando ainda mais a situação do produtor. Vários
fatores contribuíram para a queda da rentabilidade da produção: o aumento dos custos e a queda no preço têm pressionado as
margens de...

the departure of skilled workers, the home country suffers reduced aggregate skill formation. Although as a response to a higher

industrialized foods and imported inputs – represented by fertilizers. Imports and exports vector autoregression models were used
to explain the behavior of these variables. An increase of 1% in the attractiveness – product of the exchange rate by the

Consumers face pressure from environmental groups to modify their seafood purchase decisions based on concerns about
fisheries' production practices. Existing research provides little information indicating whether seafood consumers are willing to
change purchasing behavior based on a product's environmental attributes, to the exclusion of other attributes. We describe a
contingent ranking experiment addressing preferences for fresh seafood, allowing for choices among different species, some
displaying an ecolabel. Results suggest consumers consider overfishing sufficiently important to contemplate changing the species
of fish they buy; however, they are unwilling to choose a less-favored species based solely on the presence of an ecolabel.

This paper presents a Bayesian alternative to Generalized Maximum Entropy (GME) and Generalized Cross Entropy (GCE)
methods for deriving solutions to econometric models represented by underdetermined systems of equations. For certain types of
econometric model specifications, the Bayesian approach provides fully equivalent results to GME-GCE techniques. However, in
its general form, the proposed Bayesian methodology allows a more direct and straightforwardly interpretable formulation of
available prior information and can reduce significantly the computational effort involved in finding solutions. The technique can
be adapted to provide solutions in situations characterized by either informative or uninformative prior information.

This paper investigates the EKC curves for CO2 emissions in a panel of 109 countries during the period 1959-2001. The length of
the series makes the application of a heterogeneous estimator suitable from an econometric point of view. The results, based on
the hierarchical Bayes estimator, show that different EKC dynamics are associated with the different sub samples of countries
considered. On average, more industrialized countries show an EKC evidence in quadratic specifications, which are nevertheless
probably evolving into an N shape, emerging from cubic specifications. Less developed countries consistently show that CO2
emissions still rise positively with income, though some signals of an EKC path arise.

Evaluating the range of proposed adaptation measures to combat the sensitivity of agriculture to climate change effects involves

the sensitivities of their inter-relationships. Lack of information on the sensitivity of agricultural activities to climate change in

Efficient policy intervention to reduce antibiotic use in livestock production requires knowledge about the rationale underlying
antibiotic usage. Animal health status and management quality are considered the two most important factors that influence
farmers’ decision-making concerning antibiotic use. Information on these two factors is therefore crucial in designing incentive
mechanisms. In this paper, a Bayesian belief network (BBN) is built to represent the knowledge on how these factors can directly
and indirectly determine antibiotic use and the possible impact on economic incentives. Since both factors are not directly
observable (i.e. latent), they are inferred from measurable variables (i.e. manifest variables) which are influenced by these...

We present a theoretical framework for understanding the relationship between anchoring bias, hypothetical bias, and cheap talk
in constructed markets. In our theory, interviewers provide agents with signals such as cheap talk and bid values while eliciting
the value for nonmarket goods. In response to these signals, agents revise their prior distributions over the value of the good.
Previous empirical studies have failed to account for the interaction between cheap talk and anchoring during this updating
process, leading researchers to incorrectly assess the effects of cheap talk in reducing hypothetical bias. In particular, we predict
that cheap talk will appear to be more effective for relatively large bids. We test our theory in an experimental...

A BAYESIAN FRAMEWORK FOR OPTIMAL INPUT ALLOCATION WITH AN UNCERTAIN
STOCHASTIC PRODUCTION FUNCTION
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Griffiths,
William E.
A Bayesian approach is used to provide a framework for optimal input allocation for a stochastic production function with
uncertain parameters. The chosen production function is a single-input version of a function which can exhibit positive or negative
marginal risk. The sensitivity of optimal input allocation to the degree of risk aversion, the marginal risk parameter, and the
assumed level of uncertainty about the parameters is examined. Using an example problem it is shown that parameter uncertainty
will not always lead to a lower input level when a producer is risk averse. Some problems with the production function
specification are uncovered, as is the incompatibility of some expected utility and stochastic assumptions.

A Behavioral Analysis of EPA's MOBILE Emission Factor Model

This paper examines the behavioral and stochastic aspects of modeling emission reductions from vehicle Inspection and
Maintenance (I/M) programs. Forecasts of the potential emission reductions from such programs have been modeled by the use of
the Environmental Protection Agency's MOBILE Model, EPA's computer model for estimating emission factors for mobile
sources. We examine the structure of this Model and review the way behavior of drivers, mechanics and state regulatory
authorities is incorporated in the current generation of the Model. We focus particularly on assumptions about vehicle repair under
I/M, compliance with I/M requirements, and the impact of test measurement error on predicted I/M effectiveness. We also include
some preliminary...

A BEHAVIORAL APPROACH TOWARDS FUTURES CONTRACT USAGE.

Autores: Pennings,

We propose a behavioral decision-making model to investigate what factors, observable as well as unobservable, owner-managers
consider regarding futures contract usage. The conceptual model consists of two phases, reflecting the two-stage decision structure
of manager’s use of futures. In the first phase owner-managers consider whether futures are within the market choice set for the
enterprise. In the second phase the owner-manager decides whether or not to initiate a futures position when confronted with a
concrete choice situation. In both phases owner-manager’s beliefs and perceptions play an important role. The proposed model is
tested on a data set of Dutch farmers, based on computer-assisted personal interviews. Because we incorporate latent...

The Queensland Fruit Fly (QFF) — Bactrocera tryoni — poses a significant threat to horticultural production in Victoria causing
losses of fruit and jeopardising access to interstate and international markets. The Victorian Government implements and largely
funds an area freedom program to manage QFF. Concern about the record number of outbreaks in 2007-08 and the escalating
costs of maintaining the current management regime, led the Victorian Department of Primary Industries to review the program to
identify improved strategies for managing QFF. As part of this work, a benefit cost analysis (BCA) of alternative strategies has
been conducted. While the BCA method is well established, in general few studies are publicly available for area freedom
programs....

Because original high-quality non-market valuation studies can be expensive, perhaps prohibitively so, benefits transfer (BT)
approaches are often used for valuing, e.g., the outputs of multifunctional agriculture. Here we focus on the use of BT functions, a
preferred method, and address an under-appreciated problem – variable selection uncertainty – and demonstrate a conceptually
superior method of resolving it. We show that the standard method of value-function BT, using the full estimated model, may
generate BT values that are too sensitive to insignificant variables, whereas models reduced by backward elimination of
insignificant variables pay no attention to insignificant variables that may in fact have some influence on values. Rather than

Many public programs promote diets rich in fruits and vegetables based on evidence of the derived health benefits. Still, produce
consumption in the United States lags behind other nations, even its most culturally similar neighbor--Canada. This study uses a
structural latent variable model to test the role played by quality and health information in explaining observed differences in
produce consumption. The Alchian-Allen effect predicts that higher quality, higher absolute margin produce will be exported,
suggesting quality may be an important demand factor in importing nations such as Canada. The results show that dietary health
information is significant in expanding demands. Quality also promotes fruit consumption in Canada.

Binary logit analysis was used to identify the factors influencing adoption of Global Positioning System (GPS) guidance systems
by cotton farmers in 11 Mid-south and Southeastern states. Results indicate that adoption was more likely by those who had
already adopted other precision-farming practices and had used computers for farm management. In addition, younger and more
affluent farmers were more likely to adopt. Farmers with larger farms and with relatively high yields were also more likely to
adopt. Education was not a significant factor in a farmer’s decision to adopt GPS guidance systems.

This study analyzes the demand for cigarettes fitting observed zero outcomes with a trivariate model consisting of an equation for
the starting smoking decision, an equation for the quitting decision, and an equation that models the level of cigarettes consumed.
Five competing specifications are considered to explain level, with the ordered probit, which accommodates pile-ups of counts in
the dependent variable, providing the best fit. Marginal effects of explanatory variables are calculated providing strong evidence
of race and gender differences in consumption patterns. The estimated marginal effects are robust to alternative categorizations of
the level of cigarettes.

NPV and LEV are established and common approaches to valuing single rotation and infinite rotation forests respectively, when
the rotation age is fixed in advanced. More recently, Real Options approaches have been employed to value single and infinite
rotation forests with a flexible harvest age. Under a stochastic timber price process, it has been shown that the valuation of a
flexible rotation forest is equal or higher than that of a fixed rotation forest, because a flexible harvest regime delays the harvest if
the timber price is not favourable, whereas a fixed harvest regime would proceed to harvest regardless of the price. Often,
valuation of fixed and flexible rotation ages are compared using 2 different methods – NPV (or LEV) and Real Options. The...

The use of protected areas as a fishery management tool has been suggested as a hedge against management failures and variation
in harvests. A stochastic bioeconomic model of a two-species fishery will be used to test the performance of protected areas as a
management tool in a fishery with heterogenous environments. Protected areas are analysed under density-dependent and
sink-source dispersal relationships between environments within the fishery. Differing levels of management control over fishery
resource extraction are analysed. The model is applied to Manning Bioregion in NSW. The focus of the study is placed on the
biological and institutional characteristics that yield benefits to the fishery.

Conservation and restoration of native vegetation is often a gradual process which may require many years to transform an
ecosystem from one vegetative state to a target ecosystem. This process is stochastic, with some changes potentially irreversible.
In contrast, contracts with landholders to undertake conservation measures on their property are typically for less than ten years
and often make no contingencies for re-contracting at the end of the contract period. The risk to land holders and conservation
agencies of contracts not being renewed and the consequent potential loss of previous investment means including covenants in
conservation contracts may be attractive to both parties. A model is developed to empirically examine the optimal dynamic...

Invasions by non-indigenous plant species pose serious economic threats to Australian agricultural industries. When an invasion is

Wetland ecosystems on privately owned farms – such as those on the Murrumbidgee River Floodplain in the state of New South
Wales, Australia – provide a mix of potentially valuable outputs to their owners and the wider community. The mix of values
generated is dependent on the biophysical status of the wetlands, which in-turn, is dependent on the land management in and
around these multiple-output ecosystems. Despite the range of private and public values generated, management decisions are
based primarily on the private values that landowners receive. These private land management decisions also affect social
values. Hence, there is potentially a demand for public policy to influence decisions based on the social values wetlands
generate. This paper...

Classical approaches to the economics of pest management have focused almost exclusively on single-species models. This
study develops and implements a methodology with which to evaluate multi-species, non-stochastic, managerial decisions subject
to stochastic elements of the plant-insect system. Multi-species insect management strategies (combinations of scouting interval,
threshold value, and choice of pesticide) are analyzed using a physiological mechanistic soybean plant growth model coupled to
three insect population dynamics models. Preliminary results indicate that net returns are maximized and variance is reduced
with lower thresholds and more frequent scouting than current recommendations.

Agronomists consider the continuity and nutrient capturing properties of cover crops as important determinants of nutrient cycling
in agricultural systems. Managing for these biotic control functions can help limit nutrient loss and groundwater contamination
between main crop harvests.
This simulation study highlights the potential role of cover crop management in a welfare
economics framework. The objective is to find the optimal combination of nutrient input to the main crop, the extent of
off-season cover crops, and crop functional diversity to maximize the sum of benefits from agricultural production and
groundwater protection.

A bioüzemanyag-gyártás nemzetközi összefüggései

Autores: Popp,
Jozsef.
A dráguló olajár „felszínre hozta” a fosszilis energiahordozók környezetbarát energiahordozókkal való kiváltásának problémáját.
Az olajkészletek korlátozottsága mellett a bizonytalan kitermelés és a folyamatosan növekvő árak a bioüzemanyagok felé
irányítják a politikai döntéshozók és a befektetők figyelmét. Az olajimportőr országoknak a bioüzemanyag-gyártás
nyersanyagainak hazai termelése lehetővé teszi importköltségeik visszafogását, az üvegházhatást okozó gázok kibocsátásának
csökkentését, valamint a mezőgazdasági termelők jövedelem-színvonalának javítását. A bioüzemanyagok elterjedése ugyanakkor
enyhíti a kapacitása határán dolgozó olajfinomító ipar üzemanyag-ellátási terheit is, ami jelentős mértékben hozzájárul(t) az
üzemanyagárak emelkedéséhez. Ma...

As the Doha negotiations are at a dead end, this paper takes a step back to address the future direction of WTO disciplines in
agriculture. It puts members’ negotiating positions and the draft modalities with their ever growing list of exceptions aside to

disciplines so as to best account for the manifold effects of agriculture on societies’ welfare? Second, how should inefficient
agricultural policies be treated as long as their removal is politically infeasible? And third, how can the WTO facilitate agricultural
policy reform beyond establishing maximum thresholds for distorting policies? The paper argues for moving from the current...

During the post-socialist transition period, the Bulgarian irrigation facilities deteriorated to a large extent and no longer meet the
needs of the new landowner and agricultural production structure. The Bulgarian government therefore enacted two new laws to
encourage collective action and to establish water user associations in order to achieve sustainable water management. In this
article, we will question the frequent argument that water user associations could easily be established in Bulgaria, because they
are rooted in the water syndicates. Empirical findings from village case studies reveal that limited collective memory exists today
about former water syndicates' rules-in-use and patterns of action. We will explain this breach of tradition by the...

The Cottonwood River Watershed is located in southwestern Minnesota, draining 1,310 square miles of land within the Minnesota
River Basin. The watershed is comprised of parts of Brown, Cottonwood, Lyon, Murray, and Redwood Counties. This essay
gives a brief account of the initial European settlement of the area and the establishment of the current political boundaries. It
then focuses on the major developments in agricultural production during the past 150 years, touching on the changes in landscape
and wildlife due to drainage and restructuring of water bodies and the clearing of forest land.

This paper presents an evaluation of a farm-business assessment model that uses financial performance measures and tracks

Its core component involves the use of comparative analysis, which is structured as an introductory rapid-assessment model,
together with a ranking system that has been designed to differentiate the relative performance levels of farm businesses. The
system has been labelled as the Business Performance Index (BPI) model to reflect its performance-ranking role that explores the
relationships, if any, between farmer attitudes and business performance. The BPI model is discussed within the context of the

This paper analyses the role of agro-systems preservation on making food choices. It employs the “Calibrate Auction-Conjoint
Valuation method” (CACM), which relates hypothetical conjoint valuation of product attributes with real market behavior using
real economic incentives. The paper also allows comparing the hypothetical and nonhypothetical valuations in order to value the
difference between the theoretic and the incentive-compatible WTP for a same respondent and within a single experiment. Thus
the paper aims at testing for: 1) the internal consistency on people’s behavior towards sustainable agriculture, and 2) the relevance
of the price attribute versus agro-ecosystems preservation for a fresh product. Results suggest that Spanish respondents’...

evolve, there is, as yet, no such widely accepted vision for the next period. In this vacuum it seems possible that the reform debate
may be dominated by three actions: to cut, redistribute and transform the Single Payments. Interest groups who...

Agri-environmental programs, such as the Environmental Quality Incentives Program, provide payments to livestock and crop
producers to generate broadly defined environmental benefits and to help them comply with federal water quality regulations,
such as those that require manure nutrients generated on large animal feeding operations to be spread on cropland at no greater
than agronomic rates. We couch these policy options in terms of agri-environmental "carrots" and regulatory "sticks,"
respectively. The U.S. agricultural sector is likely to respond to these policies in a variety of ways. Simulation analysis suggests
that meeting nutrient standards would result in decreased levels of animal production, increased prices for livestock and poultry

A CASE AGAINST THE SIMULTANEOUS USE OF MARKET ACCESS RESTRICTIONS,
DOMESTIC SUPPORT, AND EXPORT SUBSIDIES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Garcia,
Roberto J.
The Uruguay Round of GATT introduced market disciplines to international trade in agricultural commodities. However, in
cases where countries negotiated the right to limit market access, support domestic production at high levels and subsidize
exports, the spirit of the WTO rules have been violated. The Norwegian meat market (beef, pork, lamb and mutton, and chicken)
situations are studied in terms of the policy implications and WTO commitments.
If Norway's policy objective is to target some
level of production that satisfies its non-trade concerns, then semi-decoupled income support could be an improvement over a
policy mix that simultaneously restricts market access, provides domestic support and applies export subsidies.

Income averaging for primary producers is a long-standing tax policy in Australia. Major changes were made to the scheme in
1983 to overcome anomalies associated with the previous scheme. However the amended scheme has not been subject to review.
In this review, the scheme is found to perform poorly against the traditional evaluation criteria of equity, efficiency and simplicity.
The general conclusion is that to avoid cross-subsidisation and investment distortions which are often inherent features of any
general scheme, it is appropriate to consider the adequacy of self-averaging mechanisms.

This article outlines the efforts of a small NGO, the Mareeba Wetland Foundation, to conserve nature and conduct tourism at its
Mareeba Tropical Savanna Wetland Reserve in northern Queensland. It provides background about the establishment of the
reserve and its nature and draws on the results from a survey of visitors to this reserve. It provides a socio-economic profile of
visitors, their frequency of visits to it and their knowledge of it prior to visiting. This knowledge is found, on the whole, to be
poor. The way in which visitors decided to visit the reserve is also considered as are indicators of the economic surplus obtained
from visits. Because for most visitors their visit was an experiential good, doubts are raised about the traditional method...

Average total factor productivity measures for the dairy industry provide an insight into how the industry is performing as a
whole, but reveal little about what may be happening on individual farms. A case study of an irrigated dairy farm in northern
Victoria, over a 37-year period, found that total milk production and some measures of partial productivity increased substantially.
The economic performance of this case study farm over the 37-year period is described and analysed. From records of income and
expenses, operating profit, returns to capital, labour and management and total productivity measures were calculated. Between
1980 and 2000, the business achieved productivity gains at higher than the rate estimated for the whole industry. This...

In China, with the cost of improved technology rising, surplus labor shrinking, and demand for food quality and safety increasing,
it will be just a matter of time before the country’ 's hog production sector will be commercialized like that of developed
countries. However, even if China'’ s cost of production converges to international levels, as shown in this case study, China may
continue to retain some competitive advantage because of the labor-intensive nature of the marketing services involved in hog
processing and meat distribution. The supply of variety meats offers the most promising market opportunity for foreign suppliers
in China. The market may open further if the tariff rate for variety meats is reduced from 20% and harmonized with the pork...

Feeder cattle prices are generally lower in the fall, when the volume of calves for sale is highest. Most ranches in the Rocky
Mountains calve in March or April, which results in the sale of weaned calves in October, when feeder cattle prices tend to be
lowest. This study was initiated with the idea that a rancher might improve profitability by switching to fall calving, which would
enable them to sell calves in April at a higher price. In this study, fall calving generated both higher and less variable profit, but
mainly because of cost savings.

A Case Study of Regulation in Zambia’s Cotton Sector.

Cotton is an unquestioned success of Zambia’s turn towards a market economy. After privatization in late 1994, seed cotton
production rose from 32,000 metric tons (mt) to about 180,000 mt a decade later (three-year averages centered on 1994 and 2005).
The number of farmers involved in the sector grew similarly, yields trended upwards (though slowly), and the country
dramatically improved the quality of its lint, becoming the outstanding performer in Sub-Saharan Africa in this regard by the
mid-2000s. Yet the sector has experienced two serious crashes since reform, both involving rampant credit default by farmers
supported with seasonal input credit by ginning companies.

The development of grain-based ethanol production in Kansas has had a marked impact upon the feedgrain and livestock
industries of the state. The increased focus on feedgrain production stemming from ethanol development impacts the use and
sustainability of Kansas water resources, and has changed the proportional mix of crops grown in the state. The need to handle
increased amounts of feedgrains and to transport them to ethanol plants has affected the functional role of local grain elevators as
well as the directional flow of grain within the state. The grain trucking industry has been dramatically affected by the increase
in demand for moving both feedstock inputs and co-product outputs to and from ethanol plants in the state.

Food consumers are, in general, concerned with acquiring healthy food which does not pose risks to their health. These

organic products’ share in the food market is rising considerably, mainly because they consist not only of a healthier product, but
also because they contribute positively to the environment. Nevertheless, these characteristics are not immediately observed by the

constraints and via wage curves. The model is exemplarily applied for the analysis of capital subsidies on the application of

Agricultural producers face many risks in their economic activity due to weather conditions, plant or animal diseases, price
volatility, policy changes and so on. One of the management tools to deal with some of these risks is the crop insurance system. In
Catalonia (North-East of Spain) farmers’ participation in crop insurance for vegetables is low. Only 5 percent of the vegetables
area is insured, when in Spain, as a whole, this percentage is around 20 percent. Different reasons have been suggested to explain
this low participation ratio such as low risk perception, risk diversification, insurance cost or crop damage assessment rules,
among others. However, no systematic research has been undertaken to assess farmers’ preferences for crop insurance in...

This article introduces a discrete choice model which incorporates a nonlinear structural adjustment to the standard utility
coefficients or decision weights. The proposed model is theoretically and empirically appealing when compared to several
alternative approaches, and it can be estimated by conventional maximum likelihood. Application of the proposed model in a
case study shows that it outperforms two competing approaches in model fit. Given its simplicity, this model is also capable of
revealing consumers' heterogeneous choices. It is shown that based on consumers' different characteristics, their product choice
and its welfare implications are also potentially different.

Quadratic flexible forms, such as the translog and generalized Leontief, are separability inflexible. That is, separability restrictions
render them inflexible with regard to separable structures. A class functional forms is proposed that is flexible with regard to
general production structures and remains flexible regarding weakly separable structures when separability restrictions are
imposed, thus permitting tests of the separability hypothesis. Additionally, the restricted forms are parsimonious; that is they
contain the minimum number of parameters with which flexibility can be achieved.

In recent years, general-purpose statistical software packages have incorporated new procedures that feature several useful options

in practice is the restriction of estimation to a subpopulation of interest. These subpopulations are often referred to
interchangeably in a variety of fields as subclasses, subgroups, and domains. In this article, we consider two approaches that
analysts of complex-sample survey data can follow when analyzing subpopulations; we also consider the implications of each
approach for estimation and inference. We then present examples of both approaches, using selected procedures in Stata to

restriction on base acres has potentially influenced the number of acres planted to fruits and vegetables over the past two decades.
This research carefully examines the effects of planting restrictions applied to vegetables and program crops, using county-level

A Club No More - The WTO after Doha
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Kerr,
William A.
Since its inception the GATT, and subsequently the WTO, has been able to operate in a fashion that is more consistent with a club
than an inclusive organization that encouraged the active participation of all its members. The WTO Ministerial Meeting in Doha
in November 2001 appears to have been a watershed in how the organization functions, and the club model may no longer be
appropriate. While it is not yet clear what will replace the previous model, it is apparent that decision making will be much more
diffused and the interests of a much broader spectrum of member countries taken into account. The central question is whether or
not the transformed organization can still serve the interests of those who were previously able to dominate the club– the major...

A Coasian Approach to Efficient Water Allocation of a Transboundary River
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Willis,
David B.; Baker,
Justin Scott.
The United States and Mexico recently resolved a decade-old water dispute that required Mexico to repay the accumulated water
debt within one year. A Coasian analysis estimates the social welfare gains attainable to each country under an alternative debt
repayment scheme that allows repayment over a longer time horizon and in a combination of dollars and water, instead of solely
in water. Assuming average water supply conditions, under the agreed 1-year repayment contract, U.S. compensation value is
534% greater and Mexico’s compensation cost is 60% less relative to when compensation is paid exclusively in water.

A cognitive psychological approach of analyzing preference uncertainty in contingent valuation
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Akter,
Sonia; Bennett,
Jeffrey W.
The sources of preference uncertainty in contingent valuation (CV) studies have rarely been investigated from a theoretical
standpoint. This paper proposes a holistic theoretical framework of preference uncertainty that combines microeconomic theory
with the theories of cognitive psychology. Empirical testing of the proposed theoretical model was carried out in Australia in the
context of a national ‘Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (CPRS)’ to be introduced in 2010. Two separate ordered probit models
for a certainty score associated with CV ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ responses were estimated. The results of the estimated regression models
provide evidence supporting the hypotheses drawn from the theoretical model.

A Cohort Approach for Predicting Future Eating Habits: The Case of At-Home Consumption of
Fresh Fish and Meat in an Aging Japanese Society
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Mori,
Hiroshi; Clason,
Dennis L.
Due to a rapidly aging society, stagnating per capita income and rather stable prices, traditional economic analyses methods lost
their power in the 1990s to predict future food product consumption in Japan. This study, in part, remedies this problem by
projecting future consumption of selected products, using a cohort approach with economic factors tentatively set aside. Per capita
consumption of individual household members by age was derived by incorporating family age composition into household data
classified by age groups of household head (HH). Individual consumption estimates were decomposed into age, cohort and time
effects, using the Nakamura's Bayesian cohort model. These effects were synthesized to predict per capita consumption in each...

A Cointegration Analysis of Wool Prices
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Chang,
Hui-Shung (Christie).
Based on cointegration analysis and monthly data from 1976.8 to 1999.10, a long-run equilibrium relationship was found to exist
between prices for wools of 19 to 23 microns, despite the wool Reserve Price Scheme operated until February 1991. Furthermore,
the prices for 19, 20 and 21 micron wools were found to be weakly exogenous. The latter result suggested that, although
co-integrated, prices for finer wools tended to be less volatile than coarser wools. The implications are that wool producers would
enjoy more stable prices by producing finer wools and that cross-hedging is possible given co-movements of prices.

The Market Risk Game is a computerized simulation game available for IBM PC and Apple II microcomputers that is designed to
give realistic practice in making decisions in a risky market environment. It illustrates the use of hedging and put options to reduce
risk in livestock and grain markets. It is best suited for individuals who have a basic understanding of commodity trading, but who
need experience to solidify their knowledge to a functional level. Through the game this is done without facing the risk of an
actual investment or requiring the time involved in watching a market over an extended period.

The Gao region located in the northeastern part of Mali was the largest producer of both large and small ruminants in the country
before the drought of 1972-1974. Since then, particular trends have been observed in livestock production: (a) small ruminant
herds almost reached their pre-drought level in 1976, whereas cattle herds were at 23 percent of their pre-drought level; (b) in
1976-1977, local consumption of small ruminants attained their highest level of the 1970's, whereas cattle consumption decreased
at least by a factor of four; and (c) exports of sheep and goats have increased after the drought, while cattle exports are almost nil.
These trends suggest that herders have shifted from cattle to sheep and goat production at least during the...

Food Quality Assurance Schemes (QAS) are widely applied in the European Union. Neuland and EurepGAP represent two
different approaches. Neuland differentiates meat clearly by a strict emphasis on rules regarding animal welfare to provide
consumers with meat produced at a high animal welfare standard. EurepGAP certifies the compliance to international accepted
standards with regard to Good Agricultural Practise to ease the exchange of products throughout the supply chain. In terms of
overall benefits and costs, the study showed that for both QAS the benefits clearly outweigh the costs. This paper compares the
schemes and their implications for the agro-food chain.

The study has revealed that the total cost per hectare is higher in Bt cotton than hybrid cotton. The cost of seeds has been found
higher in Bt cotton, whereas hybrid cotton growers incur more cost on insecticides/ pesticides. This shows the effectiveness of the
new technology (Bt cotton) for insect resistance. The average total cost of production as well as the bulk line cost have been found
lower in Bt cotton. This depicts a reduction in the unit cost of Bt cotton, which is the distinct advantage of the new technology. A
higher yield of 29 per cent has been obtained by the Bt cotton farmers over the hybrid cotton growers. The study has identified the
constraints in production, and marketing of Bt cotton in the area. Bt cotton has been found a superior...

Worldwide production of biodiesel is growing at a rapid pace. Arguably, the European Union (EU) is the global leader in
biodiesel production, but the United States has recently expanded its production. The growth of the biodiesel industry in both
regions has been fueled by a series of government-provided financial incentives. However, the timing of the growth and incentive
provisions, the nature of the main incentives, and the market conditions differ across regions. This article provides a comparative
analysis of the EU and U.S. biodiesel industries, highlighting market and policy aspects that are leading to a rapid but distinct
growth.

This study examined whether the efficiency measures were invariant to choice of parametric and nonparametric methods for a
sample of 183 wheat farms. The efficiency measures from the deterministic parametric method were smaller than those from the
deterministic method. There was a trade-off between scale efficiency and economic efficiency. In the deterministic nonparametric
method, the economic efficiency, scale efficiency and overall efficiency results were invariant to the number of inputs or the
dimensionality. Only allocative and pure technical efficiency measures depended on the dimensionality. This work illustrated the
importance of holding curvature for the cost function in stochastic frontier results.

profits as an operating objective. This paper assumes that cash flow and its stability are important to commodity processors and
examines methods for hedging cash flows under continuous processing. Its objectives are (a) to determine how standard hedging
models should be modified to hedge cash flows, (b) to outline the differences between cash flow hedging and profit hedging, and
(c) to determine the effectiveness of hedging in reducing cash flow variability. A cash flow hedging methodology is developed....

Adesoji O.
This comparative study seeks to distinguish the organic consumers of New Jersey from those of New York and Pennsylvania.
The objective of the study is to document the characteristics of New Jersey organic produce consumers and compare the profile to
New York and Pennsylvania consumers. Econometric methods will be used to model behavior and characteristics of consumers
who frequently buy organic produce, and of consumers who are willing to pay 10 percent or more extra for organic produce than
for conventional produce. Comparing models for New Jersey to those for New York and Pennsylvania will provide a framework
for determining the significant characteristics unique to New Jersey's organic produce consumers.

A Comparative Financial Ratio Analysis of U.S. Farmer Cooperatives Using Nonparametric Statistics
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Royer,
Jeffrey S.
A comparative ratio analysis using nonparametric statistical methods provides no evidence to support the hypothesis that U.S.
farmer cooperatives generally are financially weaker than other firms. Although some cooperative groups had lower current ratios
than industry standards, most of these groups consisted of marketing associations for which differences may be explained largely
by the unique business relationships between the associations and their patrons. Comparisons of debt/equity ratios indicate that,
except for regional grain and farm supply associations, cooperatives generally are less leveraged than other firms. The overall
financial strength of cooperatives appears better than during the early 1980s.

The impact of hypothetical changes in yields, costs, and demand that might result from the organization of Oklahoma vegetable
growers into cooperatives or other multifarmer marketing associations is estimated using a sector programming model. A
comparative static analysis is used to evaluate the impact of these changes on planted acreage, growers' revenues, and consumers'

Comparative analysis of food demand expansion of a cash program, as compared to the food stamp program, is important for
measuring trade-offs between goals of raising farm income and increasing food expenditures of the poor. A theoretical basis for
assessing food demand impacts under each program is presented. Two effects are analyzed: 1) The effect on food demand of the
individual household and 2) The effect of food demand at the aggregate level.
Both indifference curve analysis and

The dichotomy between perceptions of the acceptability of risk associated with genetically modified (GM) foods and willingness
to consume GM foods is investigated. Results indicate that some consumers are willing to consume GM foods even though they
may perceive such foods as somewhat unsafe, with determinants such as self-perceived knowledge about the availability of GM
foods and altruistic motives having positive and significant effects on their consumption decisions. Efforts toward decreasing
perception of risk and ultimately increasing acceptance of and demand for GM foods should address issues related to their

We estimate adults’ willingness to pay (WTP) to reduce health risks to their own or other families’ infants to test for altruism. A
conjoint analysis of adults paying for bottled water found marginal WTP for reduction in risk of shock, brain damage, and
mortality in the cash treatment of $2, $3.70, and $9.43, respectively. In the hypothetical market these amounts were $14, $26, and
$66, indicating substantial hypothetical bias, although not unexpected due to the topic of infant health. Statistical tests confirm a
high degree of altruism in our WTP results, and altruism held even when real money was involved.

We compare two approaches to mitigating hypothetical bias. The study design includes three treatments: an actual payment

Our results suggest that both the follow-up certainty treatment and the cheap talk treatment produce willingness-to-pay (WTP)
estimates consistent with the actual payment treatment. However, the follow-up certainty treatment provides response
distributions at all offer amounts that are statistically similar to the actual payment treatment, while the cheap talk treatment
provides similar responses only at some offer amounts. Furthermore, the cheap talk treatment is effective only for inexperienced

Unlike most previous studies of demand systems, the model takes into account simultaneous-equation bias which arises due to the
endogeneity of total expenditure. Beef, pork, and chicken are separable from marine products for each Pacific Rim country.
However, demand elasticities for beef, pork, and chicken are different among the various Pacific Rim nations. One may not then

A.L.
In an endeavour to improve the livestock production and particularly the marketing of livestock in the Northern Communal Areas
of Namibia, this study analyses the perception of livestock farmers in this regard. The findings show that the decision making is
significantly influenced by numerous socio-cultural considerations, which in many cases even overshadow the economic ones.
This is manifested in the low off-take percentage, the lacking interest in commercial production, and the fact that the sale price
offered to the farmer is not the most important consideration when deciding to whom to sell.

This paper compares estimates of local personal income impacts that could result from increases in the federal grazing fee, using
secondary data input/output models (U.S. Forest Service IMPLAN) and five primary data input/output models. The results show
that the impacts estimated by the IMPLAN models are usually higher than those estimate by primary data models.

A comparison of fitness between horses with different exercise history

A.K.
Anecdotal evidence suggests that a horse’s prior fitness level has an effect on the horse’s ability to return to that previous level of
fitness. This trial aimed to test this assumption which would benefit horse trainers to create individual fitness programs for horses.
Standardised exercise testing was used to compare the progress of two groups of horses during weeks three and seven of a
14-week training program. Group A had undergone a similar training program twelve months previously and Group B had not.
Plasma lactate samples and heart rate monitoring were used to assess the levels of fitness of the horses. Analysis of variance
showed that there was no significant difference in post-exercise plasma lactate concentration between the groups. The horses...

The social safety nets in Mexico and the United States rely heavily on food assistance programs to ensure food security and access
to safe and nutritious foods. To achieve these general goals, both countries' programs are exclusively paid for out of internal funds
and both target low-income households and/or individuals. Despite those similarities, economic, cultural, and demographic
differences between the countries lead to differences in their abilities to ensure food security and access to safe and nutritious
foods. Mexico uses geographic and household targeting to distribute benefits while the United States uses only household
targeting. U.S. food assistance programs tend to be countercyclical (as the economy expands, food assistance expenditures...

requirements was cut for silage. Three systems were compared: ‘CN’, conventional mineral N application to a grass monoculture
and broadcast slurry; ‘TN’, tactical mineral N application at fortnightly intervals to a grass monoculture with slurry injection and
the early housing of cattle; ‘GC’, a mixed grass/white clover sward with no mineral N addition and slurry injection. Comparisons

Hypothetical surveys are commonly used to elicit consumer behavior to guide product development, marketing, and labeling
strategies. However, despite the prevalence of surveys in consumer food studies, previous work has not assessed the relationship
between hypothetical responses and actual consumer behavior in real-world purchase situations.We explore whether attributes
cited by consumers in surveys as being important to them when making decisions indeed factor into their product decision process
in real-world markets. Evidence from a point of sale study of 702 pork purchasers indicates that there is a strong correspondence
between hypothetical survey ratings and actual shopping behavior.

What difference does it make whether farmers are served by cooperatives or investor owned firms? Are these two forms of
organizations really different? Cooperative ownership principles result in owners being more interdependent and interactive with
managers of the work organization than do investor ownership principles. This difference results in a difference in manager roles
and cooperative firm behavior unless the interdependence and interaction is offset by technological constraints, complexity,
product diversity, and rate of change in the environment. Institutional Analysis and Organizational Behavior-Contingency
Theory are used to link the influence of ownership principles and task environment to managerial role behavior.

Previous studies of historical risk have used either nominal or real data to calculate risk measures for agricultural prices and
income. However, the effects of using nominal and real data have not been evaluated. This study utilizes theoretical variance
approximation relationships to examine variances from detrended real and nominal time series. The relationships between
variances are derived for quarterly U.S. farm milk prices for 1960-72, 1973-80, and 1981-90. Contrary to common intuitive
arguments, results indicate that variances of real time series can be larger than variances of nominal series. While definitive
conclusions are not possible, several reasons for using nominal data in risk analysis are given.

Recent trends in livestock concentration suggest that there may be an increasing risk of water pollution from manure applications.
These trends in livestock operations may be offsetting improvements in commercial fertilizer management that have the potential
to reduce the risk of water pollution. This conclusion was derived by tracking excess nutrient trends between 1996 and 2002 and
by examining measures of economic performance for livestock farms. First, a link was established between the expansion of
AFOs (Animal Feeding Operations) and excess nutrients from commercial fertilizer and manure sources. Second, technical
efficiency was measured in order to identify whether technical efficiency explains structural change and in order to see whether...

This paper evaluates the efficacy of two alternative lending technologies - the traditional banking technology and a cash flow

the notion that low-income borrowers have some degree of financial sophistication, as they prepay the mortgage loan by
considering the current value of the call option. The evidence also suggests that borrower heterogeneity and insolvency affect
mortgage termination.

We compare three parametric techniques to approximate Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations via unidimensional and

of speed and accuracy for multidimensional problems. A comparable projection technique is shown to be slow, but has stable
accuracy, whereas a perturbation technique has the least accuracy although its speed suffers least from the curse of dimensionality.
The linear programming technique is also shown to be suitable for problems in resource management, including applications to

farm risk is inherently different between the two because differences in 1) climate that gives rise to very different yield risk and

important of which relate to the ability of the survey respondent to answer the questions posed. Regardless of the cause of the
differences, closer cooperation between the USDA and state universities clearly is needed to develop consistent estimates.

A COMPARISON OF SUBJECTIVE AND HISTORICAL CROP YIELD PROBABILITY
DISTRIBUTIONS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Pease,
James W.
Forecast distributions based on historical yields and subjective expectations for 1987 expected crop yields were compared for 90
Western Kentucky grain farms. Different subjective probability elicitation techniques were also compared. In many individual
cases, results indicate large differences between subjective and empirical moments. Overall, farmer expectations for 1987 corn
yields were below those predicted from their past yields, while soybean expectations were above the historical forecast.
Geographical location plays a larger role than crop in comparisons of relative variability of yield. Neither elicitation technique
nor manager characteristics have significant effects on the comparisons of the forecasts.

Interviews and mail-out/mail-back surveys were conducted in 1992 with 38 conventional and 41 sustainable North Dakota
farmers. The results emphasize the differences and similarities of these two types of farmers. Sustainable farms had more diverse
cropping practices and were more likely to raise alternative crops like alfalfa, buckwheat, hay, millet, oats, and rye than
conventional farmers. Conventional farmers were more likely to raise traditional crops like barley, sugar beets, sunflowers, and
spring wheat. Conventional farmers averaged substantially higher crop yields than sustainable farmers. Three-fourths of the
sustainable farmers raised livestock compared with one-half of the conventional farmers. Conventional farmers had greater equity,

A Comparison of Tariffs and Quotas in a Strategic Setting
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Karp,
Larry S.
We model the situation where two large countries impose either tariffs or quotas and a third large country remains passive. The
introduction of the third country overturns results from two-country models. Stable quota equilibria are capable of reproducing the
equilibrium price under tariffs, and Nash equilibria with quotas can result in positive amounts of trade. Using a linear partial
equilibrium model, we show that world welfare may be higher under Nash quotas than under Nash tariffs. However, simulation
results suggest that tariffs are likely to result in higher welfare than quotas.

While conventional farming systems face serious problems of sustainability, organic agriculture is seen as a more environmentally
friendly system since it favours renewable resources, recycles nutrients, uses the environment’s own systems for controlling pests
and diseases, sustains ecosystems, protects soils, and reduces pollution. At the same time organic farming promotes animal
welfare, the use of natural foodstuffs, product diversity and the avoidance of waste, among other practices. However, the future of
organic agriculture will depend on its economic viability and on the determination shown by governments to protect these
practices. This paper performs panel regressions with a sample of Catalan farms (Spain) to test the influence of organic farming...

The flooding situation in 2011 is similar in nature to the Great Mississippi Flood of 1993, but different in the particulars. First, the
timing of the flood within the growing season is different. Second, the two floods occurred in different regions, with the 1993
flood affecting a portion of the Corn Belt and the 2011 flood affecting a region farther south. While floodwaters have inundated
several million acres of cropland in 2011, yield losses from delayed planting are expected to be limited. Furthermore, the affected
states from the current flood are primarily Group 2 states under the current SRA, which are provided with greater reinsurance
protection by the government than the Group 1 states.

of both models for simulated data. We find that both models are adequate for studying price transmission since their

In this paper, we compare and contrast two types of timber models that have been used for public policy analysis. These models
have been variously used to predict price, inventory and market welfare impacts under different exogenous forces that impact
timber markets. The framework and theory for each model type is presented and discussed. We then thoroughly test the two model
types across six potential exogenous shocks to timber markets, ranging from instantaneous demand shocks to gradual supply
adjustments. Our comparison indicates that these models predict potentially important differences in timber market behavior.
These differences are important to consider for those who do public policy analysis.

A Comparison of Traditional and Copula based VaR with Agricultural portfolio
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Mandal,
Maitreyi; Lagerkvist,
Carl Johan.
Mean-Variance theory of portfolio construction is still regarded as the main building block of modern portfolio theory. However,
many authors have suggested that the mean-variance criterion, conceived by Markowitz (1952), is not optimal for asset allocation,
because the investor expected utility function is better proxied by a function that uses higher moments and because returns are
distributed in a non-Normal way, being asymmetric and/or leptokurtic, so the mean-variance criterion cannot correctly proxy the
expected utility with non-Normal returns. Copulas are a very useful tool to deal with non standard multivariate distribution. Value
at Risk (VaR) and Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR) have emerged as a golden measure of risk in recent times. Though...

natural products resources and supplies. The continent’s rich botanical heritage offers an excellent opportunity to diversify away
from other traditional exports. Europe and the USA are particularly promising markets for natural products. Thus, it is

This research shows that the wine market in the California is segmented by age. The wine-consumption behavior of the California
wine consumer differs between the Generation X consumer and those in Generation Y and Baby Boomers. There are differences
in demographics, purchasing attitudes, and purchasing behaviors among wine consumers from different generations. The findings
from this research demonstrate that it is increasingly important to develop marketing strategies that are segmented for the target
wine consumer. Generation Y are young wine consumers who are especially important for the industry because they offer an
opportunity for growth– these younger generations are developing tastes now that are likely to last as they age.

Price and expenditure elasticities at retail level for 11 fresh fruits and 10 fresh vegetables were estimated by employing a
composite demand system approach and using annual data. Most fresh fruits and vegetables were found to respond significantly to
changes in their own prices but insignificantly to changes in total expenditures. The demand for fresh fruit group appeared to have
had a clear upward trend since 1973. However, no significant trends were found in the demands for individual fresh fruits or
vegetables. The study partially incorporated the interdependent demand relationships between fresh fruits (vegetables) and all
other commodities, yet effectively avoided the problem of insufficient degrees of freedom.

Autores: Freeman,
John R.
Despite much hard work in recent years, economics and political science remain largely separate disciplines. Few meaningful
bridges have been build between them, and hence useful gains from intellectual trade between the two have not been realized.
Some of the most recent efforts to construct such a bridge are critically evaluated. It is shown that this literature suffers from a
lack of theoretical balance between economic and political theory; unrealistic, temporally aggregated conceptions of
political-economic equilibrium; failure to incorporate theoretically meaningful stochastic elements of economic and political
processes; and the absence of a coherent methodology for gauging the empirical power of political-economic models. In the
spirit of the AJPS...

A COMPUTABLE GENERAL EQUILIBRIUM ANALYSIS OF MEXICO'S AGRICULTURAL
POLICY REFORMS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Harris,
Rebecca Lee.
Since the late 1980s, Mexico has liberalized its agricultural sector, moving from a system of price supports, producer subsidies
and consumer subsidies to a less distorting scheme in which market forces play a greater role. Coinciding with these agrarian and
food policy reforms, the government has implemented the PROCAMPO system of direct payments to farmers. There is a general
consensus that a direct payment program has the potential to be more efficient than a system of subsidies and supports. At the
same time, there is widespread agreement that other policies need to be put in place to assure protection of the economically
vulnerable segments of the population. Within this context, this paper uses a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model to
analyze...

A Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) Analysis of the Impact of an Oil Price Increase in South
Africa
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: McDonald,

Following recent international oil price increases, there has been considerable interest in how this external factor can affect the
South African economy. This paper reports results from a computable general equilibrium (CGE) analysis of an increase (up to 30
per cent) in international oil prices. Background information is provided, which puts the magnitude of the price variations in
historical context. We describe the procedure used to adjust the social accounting matrix (SAM), which is used to calibrate the
model, to account explicitly for crude oil. Then, the effects of the crude oil price increase are traced through the economy, from
markets, industries through to factors, households and the government. Predictably, the shock hurts the economy: a 20...

System dynamics is an appropriate tool to build management models due to its ease of application in solving unstructured
problems. In the twenty-first century the sustainability of organizations is influenced by the way it manages its knowledge. In this
sense, knowledge management (KM) represents a strategy that contributes to improving the production supply chain (SC) of the
agri-food industry (AFI). The objective of this research is to develop a computer model to simulate the effect of KM on the
production of AFI. The methodology applied was that of the system dynamics by using the Vensim PLE ® v. 5.10 software,
whose determining indicators were selected through an empirical study of KM in the SC of precooked corn flour industry in

Alleviating excess demand for water is a reoccurring issue in California. An analytical framework is developed to examine the
different ways to eliminate excess demand for water in California. Four ways are examined in the marshallian cross framework.
First, shifting the supply schedule to the right. Second, shifting the demand schedule to the left. Third, increasing the price of
water to the equilibrium point. Fourth, closing the excess demand gap by administratively rationing the quantity of water
consumed. The role of institutions in determining the price of water and building infrastructure to increase the stock of water is

A Conflict of Legitimate Concerns or Pandering to Vested Interests? Conflicting Attitudes Towards
the Regulation of Trade in Genetically Modified Goods - The EU and the US
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Perdikis,
Nicholas.
The success of multilateral negotiations in reducing explicit trade barriers has focused the attention of policy makers and other
interest groups on the impact domestic policies and attitudes may have on trade flows. In the area of genetically modified goods
the principal area of dispute between the U.S. and the EU involves fundamental differences in the perception of these goods and
consumer attitudes towards them. The current dispute settlement mechanisms do not provide a way of dealing with this type of
issue. Existing bodies were designed to deal with "producer vested" interests and so cannot deal with "legitimate" consumer
concerns. The paper concludes that a new body should be established to deal with these within the ambit of the WTO.

Attributes for two value-added seafood products derived from underutilized crawfish are analyzed using conjoint data from
seafood restaurants in the southern region of the United States. Preferences for the products' form, price, and flavor attributes
were tested. Statistical tests revealed that the attribute interactions were not significant, and part-worth utilities for all main
effects were estimated using an additive preference model. Results indicate that the new crawfish products should be marketed
as a high-quality fresh soup base or seafood stuffing, priced between 30% and 50% of the cost of fresh crawfish tail meat.

Public preferences for the nonmarket services of permanently preserved agricultural land are measured and compared using
conjoint analysis. The results from a survey of 199 Delawareans suggest environmental and nonmarket-agricultural services are
the most important preserved-land attributes. Results also suggest that open space associated with wetlands on farms is neither an
amenity nor a disamenity. On the margin, preserved parcels with agricultural and environmental attributes provide net benefits,
which may exceed $1,000,000 for a 1,000-acre parcel. Preserved forestland provides benefits per acre that are statistically
equivalent to cropland, though forestland may be less expensive to preserve.

offerings with a full line of additional plants, taller plants, and cash discounts are desirable attributes. Quality is the dominant
attribute affecting preferences. Packaging the preferred attributes together significantly increases the probability of a plant being

Diverse needs and preferences across the United States provide justification for the devolution, or decentralization, of many

agricultural policy, despite significant differences across States in such areas as commodity production, production costs, income
distribution, and opportunities for off-farm work. The existing structure of USDA funding and program delivery already reflects
an appreciation of the gains from devolution, with some programs accommodating differences in State and regional preferences.

The South African beef industry, like many other South African supply chains, is challenged by the increased complexity and

changing customer needs. The power has shifted from the supply side to the consumer. The consumer has been empowered by
greater knowledge. Consumer needs are changing. A combination of these two facts implies that not only the retailer, but also the
supply chain as a whole must make sure that it is aligned to deliver customer value, in order to ensure sustainable competitiveness

Export base theory, which posits that overall regional growth is a function of external sales of locally produced goods and
services, dominates economic development practice. But the consumption base can also serve as a growth driver, especially in
small towns and rural areas. Local investments may induce residents to divert expenditures into local purchases, attract new and
footloose residents and tourists, and revitalize aging town centers. A consumption base approach is not reducible to import
substitution, but seeks to serve latent demand and alter the broad portfolio of goods and services purchased locally. I present the

This paper introduces the Index of Relative Rurality, a continuous measure of rurality. The index is based on four dimensions:
population size, density, percentage of urban residents, and distance to the closest metropolitan area. The index varies from 0
(most urban) to 1 (most rural). Compared to existing means of measuring rurality, the index is continuous and thus does not suffer
from problems that arise when using arbitrary thresholds to separate discrete categories. This shift away from often ill-defined
categories of rural and urban, to measuring the degree of rurality will shed new light on a wide array of rural issues ranging from
rural poverty to economic growth. This paper shows that the Index of Relative Rurality makes an invaluable...

modified (GM) foods. Attitudes toward GM foods were examined through the use of a multiple correspondence analysis (MCA),
analyzing the interrelationships among many categorical variables. This method was combined with a cluster analysis to construct
a typology of consumers' attitudes. Four distinct classes of attitudes were finally extracted, denoted as: Proponents,
Non-Opponents, Moderate Opponents, and Extreme Opponents. It was estimated that only 35% of the surveyed population was
opposed to GM foods.

O trabalho teve como objetivo estimar a safra paranaense, que somando as culturas da soja e do milho foi recorde chegando em
2007/08 a 21,2 milhões de toneladas, aliado a isso tem-se uma situação favorável de preços internacionais, que gera resultados
positivos para o setor produtivo e permite a recuperação do setor que passou por anos complicados por problemas climáticos e de
preços. A estimativa da safra foi realizada com uma amostra de dados que representam 78% da área de soja e 61% da área de
milho do Estado do Paraná. Quanto as questões relacionadas a biotecnologia – soja transgênica – RR, os resultados foram os
esperados, de que essa é mais uma tecnologia disponível ao produtor e esta evoluindo para ser cada vez mais competitiva com a

This work shows that the political and legal resources available to citrus farmers have become as strategic as financial,

defined by the use of different strategies among citrus farmers and processing plants: the citrus farmers and their main association
use political resources, while some big juice processing plants resort to legal resources. This opposition represents a new obstacle
to the achievement of positive results by citrus farmers in the current power network. Court orders demonstrate that orange supply

This paper explores the economics of input decision by a firm facing production uncertainty. It relies on a state-contingent
approach to production uncertainty. First, the paper develops a methodology to specify and estimate cost-minimizing input
decisions under a state-contingent technology. Second, the analysis is applied to time series data on US agriculture. It finds strong
empirical evidence that, in the analysis of input choices, expected output alone does not provide an appropriate representation of
production uncertainty. The results provide empirical support for an output-cubical technology. This indicates that an ex post
analysis of stochastic technology (as commonly found in previous research) appears appropriate. The analysis also provides...

This paper employs a cost function analysis method to investigate the existence of moral hazard in cotton buy-up insurance. The
trans-log cost function estimates of the own-price elasticity of fertilizer, herbicide, and insecticide is -0.222, -0.143, and -0.121,
respectively for Mississippi cotton production. Our results found statistically significant relationship between per acre direct cost
and cotton buy-up insurance for year 2001 and 2005 in Mississippi. Our results also indicate that moral hazard can either decrease
or increase agricultural input usage depending specific production condition in an individual year. But in general the results
support effects smaller than anecdotal evidence would suggest.

Milk production is seasonal in many European countries. While quantity seasonality poses capacity management problems for
dairy processors, a European Union policy goal is to reduce price seasonality. After developing a model of endogenous
seasonality, we study the effects of three E.U. policies on production decisions. These are private storage subsidies, production
removals, and production quotas. When cost functions are seasonal in a specified way, then arbitrage opportunities interact with
storage subsidies to reduce both price and consumption seasonality. But production seasonality likely increases because storage
subsidies promote temporal market integration. Conditions are identified under which product market interventions increase
quantity...

This study analyzed the Brazilian coffee exporter’s losses between the years 2002 and 2009, by emphasizing the 2007/09 crisis,
which affected several sectors and generated instability and uncertainty about the future results of the economic activities. The
Brazilian coffee exporting sector is fully inserted in this context, once it acts in the financial markets and it is still subject to the
strong variations from the physical market. Thus, the central analysis dealt with the volatility of the exporters returns and was

This article critically reflects on the widely held view of a causal chain with trust in public authorities impacting technology
acceptance via perceived risk. It first puts forward conceptual reason against this view, as the presence of risk is a precondition for
trust playing a role in decision making. Second, results from consumer surveys in Italy and Germany are presented that support
the associationist model as counter hypothesis. In that view, trust and risk judgments are driven by and thus simply indicators of
higher order attitudes toward a certain technology which determine acceptance instead. The implications of these findings are
discussed.

A Critical Assessment of Islamic Economics

This paper presents a critical assessment of the widely discussed concept of Islamic Economics. The two different interpretations
of Islamic economics as the study of the functioning of an interest-free economy and the validity of moral values in the economy
are discussed. It is shown that none of these interpretations can help to create an acceptable foundation for an Islamic economics.
Far away from laying the foundation for such an economics the question is raised how an Islamic economy would function, based
on the Islamic principle of controlling the Nafs. Microeconomics and macroeconomics of such an economy are analysed and its
special features are compared to an economy functioning on the basis of laws devised by the conventional economic analysis.

Irrigation farmers in the lower reaches of the Vaal and Riet Rivers are experiencing substantial yield reductions in certain crops
and more profitable crops have been withdrawn from production, hypothesised, as a result of generally poor but especially

the potential loss in farm level optimal returns. The model is static with a time frame of two production seasons. Linear crop-water
quality production functions (Ayers &amp; Westcot, 1983; adapted from Maas &amp; Hoffmann, 1977) are used to calculate net

Lisa Hill has recently provided a new assessment of Adam Smith which attempts to reveal the 'hidden' theology which underpins

secular, or atheistic, David Hume. While Hill concedes that there are resemblances to modern theories of evolution and
spontaneous order in Smith's writings, the latter's own views differ. Darwinian evolution and Hayekian spontaneous order theories
are thoroughly secular. Smith's ideas, however, are located in, what Hill calls 'a transitional phase in the history of ideas' in which
belief in teleology was still mainstream. Hence, while society may change very slowly over time, in something like an...

Applied trade analysis and modeling would not be possible without databases. Over the last few years, a considerable effort has
been devoted to put together and harmonize a huge amount of data. This has lead to the construction of large-scale datasets on
trade (imports and exports in volume and value terms). In parallel, increasing attention has been devoted to measuring tariffs and
other trade barriers. These efforts are still under way. It is only recently that large-scale models, for example, have taken into
account the lower tariffs applied under preferential agreements (the former generation of models only considered the "bound"
tariffs that act as a ceiling in many countries). The changes resulting from the introduction of better data on tariffs have...

A Critique of Computable General Equilibrium Models for Trade Policy Analysis
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hazledine,
Tim.
The paper will deal in turn with three sets of modelling issues: the question of 'data'; the 'micro' problem of specifying market
behaviour, and the. 'macro' issue of 'closing' the models in aggregate. I will conclude with some suggestions for future research.
The basic theme of the paper is this: CGE modelling is essentially a conservative or 'neoclassical' scientific endeavour, and
exhibits the strengths and weaknesses of neoclassicism. And as for the recent injection of apparently nonneoclassical imperfect
competition or industrial organization (IO) concepts into CGE, though, as an 10 specialist myself I certainly welcome this in
principle, I have doubts about the usefulness of the practice.

An elusive restriction maintained in earlier CET supply models with three or more products is shown to result in a potentially

Business strategy is very important to small and medium family businesses as many are both fragile and vulnerable; strategy
provides a solid foundation for survival. Various studies have identified that businesses that engage in strategic management
outperform those that do not. Despite this knowledge the uptake of many aspects of strategic management by farm businesses has
been slow. Although the development of business plans is now common there is often a disconnect between monitoring and
strategy. The Balanced Scorecard (BSC) was applied to case study farms during both the planning process and as they
implemented and controlled their strategic choices to determine areas of difference that restrict or enhance it as a management tool

A Crop Yield Expectation Stochastic Process with Beta Distribution as Limit
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hennessy,
David A.
The modeling of price risk in the theory and practice of commodity risk management has been developed far beyond that of crop
yield risk. This is in large part due to the use of plausible stochastic price processes. We use the Pólya urn to identify and develop
a model of the crop yield expectation stochastic process over a growing season. The process allows a role for agronomic events,
such as growing degree days. The model is internally consistent in adhering to the martingale property. The limiting distribution is
the beta, commonly used in yield modeling. By applying binomial tree analysis, we show how to use the framework to study
hedging decisions and crop valuation.

A Cross Comparison Between California and Its Domestic and International Competitors With

Autores: Hurley,

California had a market value of agricultural products sold of $25.7 billion in the year 2002 ranking it as the top agricultural
producing state in the country. Approximately 74% of this market value was attributed to crop sales. California producers spent
nearly $20.5 billion on total farm expenses. The largest single expense for agricultural producers in the state was labor at $4.3
billion. Another $1.6 billion was spent on contract labor. Hired and contract labor expenses accounted for nearly 29% of total
farm expense. Approximately 34,000 California farms hired over 535,000 laborers. Of these farms, 25% reported hiring migrant
labor and 29% hired 10 or more employees. With labor being such an integral part of the California producers’ operations, the...

The aim of this article is to test the thesis "commitment of retail chains as well as favourable policy conditions are the main
drivers of the steady market growth of organic agriculture in Europe." (Yussefi and Willer, 2003). Therefore, the role of
government policy and of retail chains in four European countries -– Denmark, Germany, the United Kingdom and the
Netherlands - are analysed. It seems that the collaboration between government, chain participants and NGOs is of considerable
importance, in which active stimulation and the provision of guidance to the channel from the retail chains, in combination with
an active and stimulating government policy, can cause an impulse in growth. It should be noted that other factors must also be

Food consumption patterns have received considerable attention lately, especially changes in red meat consumption. This article
examines and analyzes changes in meat consumption patterns in a southern state. Differences are reported based on demographics
and consumer expressed preferences. The results reaffirm the negative role of health concerns and fat on red meat consumption
and the positive influence on poultry and seafood. The findings agree with related other studies and suggest that further research
into the changing meat consumption patterns is warranted.

Cereal foods' production and use show substantial heterogeneity across Europe. For a category central in most EU diets, cereal
foods' quality perception is, nevertheless, surprisingly understudied. With this in mind, 357 Danish, Lithuanian and Portuguese
citizens were inquired about the importance of several cues and dimensions in their evaluation of the perceived quality of bread,
cookies, breakfast cereals, pasta and vodka. Portuguese and Lithuanians consistently gave a significantly higher average
importance to all the cues and quality dimensions considered, for all products, than their Danish counterparts. Nevertheless,
respondents in all three samples found expected quality dimensions to be much more important than both extrinsic and intrinsic

A Currency Crisis in Europe? - The Europe's Common Currency and the New Accession Countries Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Krawczyk,

The politically and legally complicated character of the EU Eastern Enlargement heavily influenced the conflict between the legal
and economic rationality underlying the construction of the EMR-II. This makes the ERM-II vulnerable to currency crises and
creates conditions for a widespread currency and asset substitution in the accession countries. As a result, the required
participation of all accession countries in the ERM-II imposes unnecessary costs on the whole enlargement process. The costs
could be avoided if the EU adopted a more flexible approach to the enlargement of its monetary union, allowing for an individual
path of adopting the euro in each accession country depending on the country's economic conditions.

Marketing managers of local and international food companies have realized that what they offer to customers go well beyond the

offer (Grönroos, 1993); a high service quality improves the company competitiveness, builds customer trust, supports the
company brand and other product attributes (Berry &amp; Parasuraman, 1991, p. 12). This paper seeks to investigate whether
customer care service perceived quality in the food sector is truly relevant to customer satisfaction and loyalty.

choose. The composition of these portfolios depends upon the expected cost and variance-covariance of cost for the bond and
note activities, debt needs, and the debt policy constraints of a bank. The results indicate that the interest rate risk of various

A Decomposition of North American Trade Growth since NAFTA

Total U.S. trade with NAFTA partners has increased 78 percent in real terms since 1993– U.S.-Mexico trade alone is up 141
percent– compared to a 43 percent increase in U.S. trade with the rest of the world. In this article we compare the nature of U.S.
trade growth with Canada and Mexico to growth in U.S. trade with non-NAFTA partners. We apply a simple decomposition of
trade growth offered by Hummels and Klenow (2002) that provides insights into whether the United States is trading more of the
same goods with NAFTA partners since 1993, or trading new products. The results provide evidence of both. A sizeable
component of U.S. trade growth since 1993 can be explained by increases in the variety of products the U.S. imports from
Mexico.

Autores: Kiesel,
Kristin.
This paper estimates the effects of media coverage of organic food production on food purchases. Information from several data
sources links national and local newspaper coverage to fluid milk purchases. An analysis of weekly store-level scanner data in a
differences-in-differences approach results in a 5% increase in organic milk sales relative to conventional milk sales. Increases in
intensity of news coverage increase this relative difference in sales. Differentiating effects by media context further suggests that
product category specific coverage increases sales more than general coverage. Critical coverage does not result in significant
effects on organic milk sales.

O padrão do consumo de alimentos de um indivíduo é resultado, basicamente, de seu poder aquisitivo. Pessoas com baixo poder
aquisitivo tende a mostrar maior sensibilidade à variação de preços, onde uma elevação dos preços dos alimentos pode ocasionar
alterações em seus hábitos alimentares. Sendo assim, este trabalho tem por objetivo verificar se alterações na renda dos
consumidores e preços dos alimentos afetam os hábitos alimentares dos indivíduos de baixa renda. Nestes termos, para poder
retratar bem os gastos das famílias tornam-se imprescindíveis revisões no índice de custo de vida e do bem-estar da população.
Para tanto, este trabalho utilizará como ferramenta para o cálculo do índice do custo de vida os índices de Laspeyres, calculado

A DERIVATIVE SECURITY APPROACH TO SETTING CROP REVENUE COVERAGE
INSURANCE PREMIUMS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Stokes,
Jeffrey R.
The nature of indemnities and reliance on futures price averaging during two distinct time intervals throughout the production year
imply Crop Revenue Coverage (CRC) insurance behaves like an exotic put option. Treating this type of insurance as a derivative
security, an analytical model is developed and an algorithm for solving the model to place a lower bound on insurance premiums
is presented. Monte Carlo simulation, taking into account the path-dependent nature of an Asian-type option, is then used to
determine lower-bound estimates for insurance premiums on corn gross revenue under specified price and yield distributions.

A Descriptive Analysis of Recent Trends in the International Market for Dry Milk Products
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Gould,
Brian W.; Villarreal,
Hector J.
This Discussion Paper provides a comprehensive description of longer-term trends for exports and world prices of dry milk
products. The importance of U.S. exports of dry milk products is suggested by figures in the paper showing that in 2000, 17% of
U.S. nonfat dry milk, 35% of dry whey, 47% of lactose, and 11% of whey protein concentrates were exported. The
Gould-Villarreal study documents the decline in world trade in nonfat dry milk and expansion of world trade in whole milk
powder. The paper suggests that collective product mix decisions of the U.S. dairy industry are partially out-of-sync with world
demand. Other implications for U.S. dairy exporters of changes in world demand for dry milk products are discussed.

As in almost all sub-Saharan African countries, agriculture plays an important role in the economic life of Burkina Faso. The
World Bank's 1983 report indicates that agriculture's contribution to the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was 41 percent
in 1981 compared to 16 percent for the industrial sector. In 1980, exports of agricultural products (basically cotton, groundnuts,
and livestock) accounted for 89 percent of total export earnings. The country is primarily agricultural, with nearly 90 percent of
the population dependent on agriculture as a livelihood. Yet it is well known today that Burkina Faso, going into its third decade
as a sovereign nation, is still facing, like its Sahelian counterparts, one of the biggest challenges of economic...

os produtores criam o suíno moderno com 55% a 60% de carne magra na carcaça e apenas de 1,0 a 1,5 centímetro de espessura de
toucinho. Essa evolução faz com que mundialmente seja a carne mais consumida. No Brasil, contudo, o consumo de carne suína
seguiu tendência contrária, quando comparado ao resto do mundo. Esta inversão de valores pode ser explicada por hábitos e
tradições regionais e questões de saúde, essas últimas repletas de mitos e informações distorcidas, que prejudicam a imagem da

Policymakers, managers of water use associations, and many others in developing countries are considering policy actions that
will directly or indirectly change the costs and availability of groundwater and surface water for agricultural users. While in
many cases such actions may bring about welcomed increases in water use efficiency, little is known about the likely effects of
changes in irrigation costs or water access on farmer behavior, or on farmer incomes in the short or long runs, and virtually
nothing is known about the detailed immediate or knock-on effects on water resources that such policy actions might cause. This

This paper investigates the dialectic between social restructuring and technical change within the transition to capitalism in Greek
agriculture. Contrary to neo-populist interpretations, it is argued that capitalism has developed considerably, and that technical
change has played a major role in the process of class differentiation and capitalist development. While the new capitalist strategy
for agricultural restructuring has reinforced the process of concentration and capitalist development, with a devastating impact on
small farmers, it is argued that the social conflicts involved and the recent agrarian mobilisations tend to form an alternative
strategy for the semi-proletarianised 'working class', negating both neo-populism and capitalist...

A 'DIFFERENTIAL' DIFFERENTIAL DEMAND SYSTEM
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Mancuso,
Anthony J.
Traditionally, estimation of demand systems is predicated on the validity of several axioms of consumer behavior. While such
abstractions make empirical work easier, they can also overlook important economic behavior. Because the price of a good does
not reflect the total cost of purchase, there is reason to believe that consumer responses to changes in price are not continuous.
Utilizing a regime switching model, we show that there are indeed important threshold effects, and that these effects bias elasticity
estimates toward zero.

A DIFFERENTIATED GOODS MODEL OF THE EFFECTS OF EUROPEAN POLICIES IN

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Alston,
Julian M.; Scobie,

The Common Agricultural Policy increases European poultry production costs, prohibits imports, increases domestic prices, and
subsidizes exports. This policy has displaced some U.S. exports. However, the net impact in the U.S. has been quite modest, even
assuming poultry is homogeneous, independent of source country. Costs to U.S. producers are almost entirely offset by gains to
U.S. consumers. Effects in the U.S. are even smaller when imperfect substitutability between poultry from different countries is
accounted for. A retaliatory U.S. export subsidy would have more dramatic effects in U.S. markets.

A diffusion model for the adoption of agricultural innovations in structured adopting populations

A.C.
We introduce a new model for examining the dynamics of uptake of technological innovations in agricultural systems, using the
adoption of zero-till wheat in the rice-wheat system in Haryana state, India, as a case study. A new equation is derived which
describes the dynamics of adoption over time and takes into account the effect of aggregation (e.g. on a spatial and/or cultural
basis) in the adopting population on the rate of adoption. The model extends previous phenomenological models by removing the
assumption of homogeneity in the non-adopting fraction of the population. We show how factors affecting the per capita rate of
adoption can be captured using cognitive mapping and simulate the dynamics of the adoption process.

The point of interest in this work is the dynamics of the small property through a filière analysis, identifying the internal and

Seeking to obtaining results, a case study was carried out and an input-product matrix was structured, using production values of a
small property (12 ha). As a result, the property was found to be inserted in three filières (soy, milk and swine production),
demonstrating the characteristic change of self-sufficiency for the integration in production chains. In the value aggregation (of
total production) originating from the property (R$ 3.044.570), resulting in a final product of R$ 1.278.925,...

Autores: Banerjee,

An important issue of debate in economic base literature is whether the export-base theory applies best to the short run, the long
run, or both. An attempt is being made here in answering this crucial question by applying a two-step test for cointegration on
quarterly employment data, and in gaining insights as to whether or not any unequivocal judgment can be made regarding the
validity of the economic base hypothesis.

This article introduces discourse analysis as a theoretical concept and an empirical methodology that may enable the
endogenization of path creation and path breaking changes in conventional models of political path dependencies. Economic
criteria such as rents created by a policy do not always provide a comprehensive explanation for path dependent political
decisions. Discourse theory implies that specific interpretative schemata and narratives, such as storylines in the mass media,
heavily influence the political discourse. Discourses themselves exercise a constitutive power that constrains decision-making
processes and, thus, influence the ensuing policy creation path. Hence, discourses must be taken into account when political path
creation is...

This paper analyzes the effects of providing environmental amenities associated with open space in a discrete space urban model.
The discrete space model assumes distinct neighborhoods in which developable land is homogeneous within a neighborhood but
heterogeneous across neighborhoods. We solve for equilibrium allocation of development, prices and welfare given a pattern of
open space provision. We also analyze the optimal provision of open space across neighborhoods. In equilibrium, housing density
and price in a neighborhood is increasing in the amount of open space provided in that neighborhood. Whether housing density
and prices in other neighborhoods increases or decreases depends on whether the push from reduced availability of developable
land in...

McCartney rose is a range management problem on 500,000 acres of rangeland in Texas. Roller chopping followed by burning is
an effective method of improving infested rangeland.
However, uncertainty associated with implementing effective burns
adversely affects economic feasibility of the treatment sequence. Discrete stochastic programming is used to determine optimal
burning schedules under uncertainty. Optimal schedules and expected net returns vary with changes in the probability of a
successful burn.

Applied partial and general equilibrium models used to examine trade policy are almost universally sensitive to trade elasticities.
Indeed, the Armington elasticity, the degree of substitution between domestic and imported goods, is a key behavioral parameter
that drives the quantitative, and sometimes the qualitative, results that policymakers use. While standard transparent approaches to
econometric estimation of these elasticities have been offered for the last 30 years, the estimates are viewed as too small by many
trade economists. A few robust findings emerge from the econometric literature: (1) more disaggregate analyses find higher
elasticities, (2) long-run estimates are higher than short-run estimates, and (3) time series analyses generally find...

This paper traces the economic impact of the costs of foodborne illness on the U.S. economy using a Social Accounting Matrix
(SAM) framework. Previous estimates of the costs of seven foodborne pathogens are disaggregated by type, and distributed across
the population using data from the National Health Interview Survey. Initial income losses resulting from premature death cause a
decrease in economic activity. Medical costs, in contrast, result in economic growth, though this growth does not outweigh the
total costs of premature death. A SAM accounting of how the costs of illness are diffused through the economy provides useful
information for policy makers.

In 1996, over 62 million U.S. residents participated in wildlife watching and spent in excess of 29 billion dollars in this
recreational activity. Wildlife watching can be defined as the observation, study, and enjoyment of natural areas and its wild fauna
and flora. Residential wildlife watching takes place within one mile of the participant's residence and is often an incidental or
secondary activity. Non-residential wildlife watching refers to recreation taking place at a distance of at least one mile from the
participant's residence. In recent years, a sharp decline in the number of wildlife watchers has been noted. Between 1991 and
1996, the number of wildlife watchers decreased by 17 percent. During this time interval, the largest decline in...

The Atlantic shark fishery is considered to be overcapitalized. One approach to capacity management is the purchase and
permanent retirement of fishing vessels, fishing permits, or both under voluntary buyback programs. Representatives of the
commercial shark fishery have proposed such an approach to manage the overcapacity in their fishery in the Gulf of Mexico and
Atlantic regions. This program would allow owners to submit willingness-to-accept (WTA) bids for their permits and vessels.
This study uses econometric modeling to explain the potential participation and bid amounts from a survey of permit owners.

This study develops a unique double-hurdle model of demand for composite food commodities which endogenizes unit values.
The model structure allows us to account for the inability to observe such values for non-purchasing households and
simultaneously adjusts for quality demand effects reflected in these unit values.
Application to Mexican household food
expenditure data shows the importance of controlling for the quality of composite goods. We find that poultry and pork
expenditures depend on both quantity demanded and quality desired.

In a recent paper, Mundlak assumes that the price-taking, risk-neutral and profit-maximizing entrepreneur makes his decisions on
the basis of a planning model that maximizes expected profit using expected prices. In the same paper, the author asserts that
when there is no sample price variation across competitive firms, it is impossible to estimate the supply and factor demand
functions from cross-section data using a dual approach. In a famous paper, titled “To Dual or not to Dual,” Pope asserted a
similar opinion. This paper shows that, using Mundlak’s assumption about planning decisions based upon expected profit, it is
possible to use a dual estimator to estimate supply and factor demand functions. This objective is achieved by using Mundlak’s...

Agricultural technology adoption is often a sequential process. Farmers may adopt a new technology in part of their land first and
then adjust in later years based on what they learn from the earlier partial adoption. This paper presents a dynamic adoption model
with Bayesian learning, in which forward-looking farmers learn from their own experience and from their neighbors about the
new technology. The model is compared to that of a myopic model, in which farmers only maximize their current benefits. We
apply the analysis to a sample of U.S. soybean farmers from year 2000 to 2004 to examine their adoption pattern of a newly
developed genetically modified (GM) seed technology. We show that the myopic model predicts lower adoption rates in early
years than...

Irrigation with saline waters is a major problem in many parts of the world. Economic questions have usually been addressed
using synthesized production functions and theoretically based soil salinity relations. The purpose of this paper is to estimate
functions relating crop yield and salt accumulation in the soil to initial soil salinity and water quantity and quality. Crop response
functions and dynamic salt balance relations are estimated from experimental data for alfalfa and cotton. The estimated functions
are then used in a dynamic programming model to determine optimal water applications for different levels of initial soil salinity
and crop and water prices.

volatility. The model is applied to the U.S. non-fat dry milk market. It is used to investigate the impact of market liberalization
on price dynamics and price volatility in the presence of private and public stocks. The econometric results show how the price

A dynamic model is developed to analyze farmers' irrigation investment and crop choice decisions under alternative water quality
protection policies. The model is applied to an empirical example in the Oklahoma High Plains. The choices of crops and
irrigation systems and the resulting levels of irrigation, income, and nitrogen runoff and percolation are simulated over a ten-year
period. An effluent tax on nitrogen runoff and percolation is shown to be effective in reducing nitrate pollution. The efficacy of
cost sharing in adopting modern irrigation technologies and restrictions on irrigation water use depends on soil type. A tax on
nitrogen use is shown to be the least effective policy.

This chapter uses a new ecological-economic approach to analyze the role of time in range management in a dynamic and

land. We then show how the dynamic and the stochastic properties of this rangeland can be used to construct two managerial
objectives that are ecologically and economically meaningful. Finally, using these two objectives, we discuss an approach to range
management in which the manager has two interrelated goals. This manager maximizes the profits from range operations and
(s)he also takes steps to move the rangeland away from the least desirable state of existence.

among foreign direct investment (FDI), economic growth, and the environment in China and India. The results show that FDI
inflow plays a pivotal role in determining the short- and long-run movement of economic growth through capital accumulation
and technical spillovers in the two countries. However, FDI inflow in both countries is found to have a detrimental effect on
environmental quality in both the short- and long-run, supporting pollution haven hypothesis. Finally, it is found that, in the
short-run, there exists a unidirectional causality from FDI inflow to economic growth and the environment in China and India - a

A Dynamic Bioeconomic Model of Ivory Trade: Details and Extended Results
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: van Kooten,
G. Cornelis.
Trade in ivory is banned under CITES in an effort to protect the African elephant. The trade ban is supported by some range
states, most notably Kenya, because they see the ban as an effective means for protecting a ‘flagship’ species, one that attracts
tourists and foreign aid. It is opposed by some states, mainly in southern Africa, because their elephant populations are exceeding
the capacity of local ecosystems with culling and other sources have resulted in the accumulation of large stocks of ivory. They
argue that ivory trade will benefit elephant populations. The question of whether an ivory trade ban will protect elephant
populations is addressed in this paper using a dynamic partial-equilibrium model that consists of four ivory exporting regions...

An R&amp;D based endogenous growth - applied general equilibrium model is developed from an underlying analytical model
which combines Romer's capital variety with Grossman and Helpman's multi-sector open economy model. The transitional
dynamics of the analytical model are derived. For numerical implementation, a time discrete empirical model, with an Armington
structure, is fit to East Asian data of the social accounting matrix variety. Simulations of trade reform are performed and their
static and dynamic effects compared. The transition paths of the state variables are found to have a half-life of five to six periods.

The definition and measurement of dynamic economic performance has been addressed obliquely in the literature with the notions
of scope economies and capacity utilization measures, but little work has focused on develop the static theory analogs of
efficiency measures into the dynamic context. This paper is an attempt to identify some of the conceptual and methodological
issues to be addressed. A model allowing for dynamic production decisions in the face of inefficiency is presented to illustrate
some of the issues and the extensions necessary to identify truly dynamic performance measures.

This paper examines the factors that account for ag-biotech patenting success among universities using a dynamic count data

innovation, wherein a feedback mechanism from previous success partially determines current patent counts. The econometric
estimates reveal the importance to ag-biotech patent production of land grant infrastructure, quality faculty, state and institutional
funding, patent-oriented technology transfer offices, as well as dynamic feedback effects.

Herbicide-resistant (HR) rice technology is a potential tool for control of red rice in commercial rice production. Using an ex

uncertainty. The analysis accounts for stochastic germination of red rice and sheath blight to model a profit maximization
problem of crop rotation among HR rice, regular rice, and soybeans. The results demonstrate that risk attitudes and technology

In this paper we assess how production costs and capital accumulation patterns in agriculture have evolved over time, by paying
special attention to the influence of risk. A dynamic state-contingent cost minimization approach is applied to assess production
decisions in US agriculture over the last century. Results suggest the relevance of allowing for the stochastic nature of the
production function which permits to capture both the differences in the costs of producing under different states of nature, the
differences in the evolution of these costs over time, as well as the differential impacts of different states of nature on investment
decisions.

The costs of deer-vehicle collisions (DVCs) nationwide are estimated to be in excess of $1 billion annually. In this study, factors
contributing to the abundance of DVCs are identified and the potential effectiveness of various deer management strategies in
reducing DVCs is investigated. The added benefits of such strategies are also evaluated in a bioeconomic context by comparing
alternative outcomes achievable from implementing DVC mitigation techniques. Focusing on Ohio, results suggest potentially
large economic gains exist from reducing DVCs, especially with strategies that combine both deer management schemes and

The objective of this paper is to develop a dynamic model that may be useful in the analysis of investment in long term tree crop
agriculture.
The model is based on linear programming as modified by fixed assets theory.
The starting point is the
Heady-Loftsgard dynamic linear programming model restated in a stochastic form and imbedded in a decision theoretic construct
to give a stochastic mixed integer programming model. The paper goes into a discussion of problems associated with agricultural
data collection in Nigeria-on the conviction that specific use of any model can only come after the data problem has been

We develop a coupled model of regional migration and lake ecology to study the influence of ecological-economic interactions
and relative time scales on transient and asymptotic dynamics. Cross-scale interactions fundamentally change system dynamics
by eliminating steady states that are present in the decoupled economic model and introduce important time dependence. We
find that the relative time scales of interacting variables are a key determinant in system dynamics and resilience and that the
system's asymptotic behavior cannot be determined without considering the full dynamics of the system. Other time-dependent
effects are found to matter, e.g., when households base their perceptions of environmental amenities on past observation, a path...

This paper employs a dynamic model for crimes that involve time and punishment to analyze the use of a net with illegal mesh
size in a management regime where each community claims territorial use right over a fishery but has a discount rate that may
differ from the social discount rate. The equilibrium stock and harvest levels are found to be much lower if the regulation is
violated. Moreover, the optimal penalty for violation must be decreasing in the shadow cost of taking the risk to fish illegally, and
increasing the risk of punishment increases the equilibrium stock level.

A dynamical model of soil phosphorus carryover in grazed pasture provides the basis for bioeconomic optimization of fertiliser
rates. A linear constraint is introduced to optimise the allocation of limited funds to fertiliser on several farm blocks, each of
which represents a different land and/or stock class. The optimal constrained maintenance application of fertiliser to each block is
calculated, and an heuristic approach to this equilibrium is suggested. In some cases this involves withholding of fertiliser from
unresponsive blocks. The dynamical model and economic optimisation method have been implemented in a commercial fertiliser

Provedor de dados: 31

To counteract declining quantity and poor quality of paddock feed over summer/autumn, farmers in Western Australia must
decide how much of which supplement to provide to grazing sheep to optimise the use of supplements. The solution is
complicated by the interaction of biological and economic factors and the intertemporal nature of the problem. A dynamic
programming approach was used to determine optimal feeding strategies for different starting conditions. Lupin seed was
preferred to oats for weaners when paddock feed was abundant, while oats was preferred for weaners and adults when paddock
feed was scarce. The optimal feeding rate usually starts low and then gradually increases to higher rates as the autumn break
approaches.

graziers to make decisions in a drought. The constraints consist of an upper limit on the number of a particular type of livestock
which may be agisted (or droved) in a drought, an upper limit on the number sold and an upper limit on cash outlay. Actions
assumed available to the grazier are sale of livestock, agistment (or droving), and supplementary feeding (or allowing mortality).

A economia política dos estudos sobre desenvolvimento rural no Brasil
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Schneider,
Sergio.
O trabalho analisa as principais tendências teóricas e temas que integram o debate brasileiro recente sobre o desenvolvimento
rural. Sustenta-se que a agenda do desenvolvimento rural no Brasil, da qual comungam e participam ativamente estudiosos,
organizações e instituições, tem sido formulada pelo Estado e pelas políticas públicas implementadas desde a década de 1990.
Entre os fatores que influenciaram a emergência do debate sobre o desenvolvimento rural destaca-se a crescente legitimação
social e política da agricultura familiar e da reforma agrária, a reorientação das políticas governamentais, o crescente acirramento
político e ideológico em relação ao agronegócio e as discussões sobre a sustentabilidade. Também se argumenta que as
referências...

A emergência da categoria “agricultor familiar” como sujeito de direitos na trajetória do sindicalismo
rural brasileiro
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Picolotto,
Everton Lazzaretti.
O processo de reconhecimento dos agricultores familiares como sujeitos de direitos apesar de ser recente quando pensado a partir
da trajetória do sindicalismo rural brasileiro demonstra ter suas primeiras raízes ainda na constituição da legislação
trabalhista-sindical dos anos de 1930. Visando explorar esse processo o artigo tem por objetivo analisar a emergência dos
agricultores familiares como sujeitos de direitos na sociedade brasileira contemporânea. Analisa-se os processos de formação do
sindicalismo rural e de expansão da legislação trabalhista para os trabalhadores rurais como forma de realização de uma
“cidadania regulada” até a década de 1970; o questionamento do sindicalismo oficial, a estruturação de um “novo sindicalismo” e
a emergência de...

A Euro-Mediterranean deal in agro-food and fisheries trade: Long run impacts in Greece
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Kitou,
Elisavet; Philippidis,
George.
We employ a heavily modified ‘agricultural’ variant of the GTAP model and a realistic baseline scenario to assess the impact on
the Greek economy from a hypothetical ‘hub and spoke’ and a ‘FTA’ EUMED agro-food and fisheries trade agreement. Long run
estimates show that Greek agro-food and fisheries sectors are not seriously affected, where surprisingly, trade diversionary losses
to Greece from the FTA scenario are minor given minimal south-south trade links between Mediterranean Partner Countries
(MPC). Further research shows that under complete CAP decoupling, notable additional welfare gains for MPC are realised,
whilst Greece stands to lose approximately €300 million.

O texto analisa o surgimento e evolução do mercado de álcool carburante no Brasil, destacando seu elo com a trajetória do
mercado interno e exportações de açúcar. Mostra que durante muito tempo tais mercados foram marcados pela ação planejadora
por parte do órgão estatal (o IAA/Instituto do Açúcar e do Álcool) criado em 1933, e que o enfraquecimento de tal incumbência
quando do advento do Proálcool em 1975 foi seguido do esvaziamento de outras atribuições do órgão entre 1985 e 1990, quando
foi extinto. Destaca o comportamento da mistura de álcool anidro à gasolina, o ufanismo quanto à possibilidade de substituição do
consumo de gasolina pelo de álcool hidratado, a crise de abastecimento deste álcool em 1989/90 e o problema decorrente da
possibilidade de...

Entre os anos 2001/2007, a agricultura nacional cresceu a taxas extraordinárias, superiores às dos outros setores da economia. Este
excelente desempenho da agricultura nacional ocorreu sem que existisse um aparato de políticas públicas para fomentá-lo. Desta
forma, o desempenho da agricultura favoreceu a atuação de grupos de pressão sobre o marco regulatório dos agrotóxicos, no qual
segmentos do setor agrícola e entidades representativas de empresas produtoras de agrotóxicos têm procurado reduzir as
exigências para o registro de novos produtos, sob a alegação de que isto reduziria os preços dos agrotóxicos ao produtor rural,
melhorando a competitividade da agricultura nacional, e ainda promoveria a redução do grau de concentração do mercado

O artigo analisa a importância da previdência social rural na dinâmica da agricultura familiar gaúcha. Aborda os efeitos do
processo de universalização da seguridade social em face das mudanças decorrentes da promulgação da nova constituição de
1988. O estudo desenvolveu-se com base em pesquisa realizada em quatro áreas de estudo correspondentes às microrregiões de
Pelotas, Caxias do Sul, Frederico Westphalen e Cerro Largo, respectivamente situadas no sul, nordeste, norte e noroeste da
geografia gaúcha. Os resultados indicam que as aposentadorias e pensões são essencialmente importantes na perspectiva da
redução das desigualdades. Elas representam uma importante fonte de renda para as famílias e para a economia dos municípios.

Observa-se no período recente um forte crescimento da produção de etanol e açúcar, fato que vem se refletindo no uso crescente
da terra pela cana-de-açúcar. Este processo vem ocorrendo com maior intensidade no estado de São Paulo, fazendo com que
vários municípios se tornem cada vez mais dependentes dessa cultura. Com base nisso, a questão que se coloca é como os
municípios podem se beneficiar dessa expansão, sendo necessária, então, a análise de pontos como o impacto na arrecadação

understanding other countries policies that affects international trade and its impacts in this country is equally important. The
European Union (EU) is one of the most important Brazilian trade partners and it is known by strong interference on its

Agricultural insurance is considered to be an effective to manage rural risks. Surprisingly, its adoption by farmers is very limited
all over the world. An outstanding exception is the United States of America, country in which this instrument has achieved
remarkable success. Nevertheless, the process of diffusion of agricultural insurance in the USA was slow and expensive. It has
also required significant government intervention through a variety of complementary actions. In this context, countries willing to
introduce this instrument among other agricultural policy tools, as it seems the case of Brazil, should proceed with caution.
Agricultural insurance success has important pre-requisites and its general diffusion may amplify its problems. The analysis...

A magyar hűtőipar számára a külföldi piacokon való értékesítés nagy jelentőségű. A hűtőipar talán az egyetlen ágazat, melynek
termelése minőségileg sosem különült el az értékesítés piacai szerint, köszönhetően annak, hogy a vertikumban a nemzetközi
követelmények érvényesültek. A komplex vásárlói modellek elemzését követően megállapítható, hogy az ízesített termékeket
leginkább az aktív szellemi foglalkozásúak részesítik előnyben, akik átlag feletti jövedelemmel rendelkeznek. Az ízesített
termékek és a vegyes összetevőjű (mix) termékek tipikus vásárlója között nem tapasztalható jelentős eltérés. A vizsgálat
eredményei alapján az a következtetés vonható le, hogy az egy összetevőjű termékek vásárlói között a legalacsonyabb a férfiak és
a legmagasabb a nők,...

A vizsgált juhászatok a hazai átlagtól eltérő fajtaösszetételűek és nagyobb nyájméretűek, de a nagyobb állományokhoz
korszerűtlen technológia társul, ami korlátozza a potenciális hozamok elérését. A költségek szerkezetéből kitűnik, hogy a
takarmányköltségek mellett a személyi jellegű költségek aránya igen magas a vizsgált gazdaságok állománykoncentrációja
ellenére is, ami utal az évtizedek óta elavult tartástechnológiára is. A fajtacsoportonkénti bevételekben szembetűnő a tejelő
juhászatok kimagasló teljesítménye, míg a húshasznú és keresztezett fajtáknál ez alig haladja meg a merinó fajtacsoportét. A

A FAMILY OF AGRONOMIC PRODUCTION FUNCTIONS WITH ECONOMIES OF SCOPE
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Lloyd,
Peter J.
This paper derives a family of multiple-output multiple-input production functions from the underlying technologies. These
technologies are represented by average yield functions for each of the commodities (crops) produced from a common pool of
resources. The production functions are implicitly separable. Examples include the CRETH, translog, generalised power and
generalised McFadden functions. Moreover, given a function which is a member of this family, the individual commodity yield
and production functions can be recovered. Such implicitly separable multiple-output production functions may exhibit economies
or diseconomies of scope which reflect the interactions between outputs sharing a common pool of resources.
